For my 2007 R6, I've recently started to roll around the idea of getting a quick shifter. I believe I need a push-type sensor since I am set up for gp shift and was thinking about just getting the quick shifter expansion module. Only pertinent mods thus far are a full Leo Vince, the PCV of course and a bmc filter. No other engine mods. I don't really see a need for the ignition or secondary fuel module at this time since I'm new to the track and lack a built motor. Would you experts say that's a reasonable analysis or no?
The PC-V only controls four devices (injectors) in this case. They designed the PC system to be a module add-on system, so you'd ideally need just the QS expansion module and the QS sensor (shift rods too) and you'll be ready to go. The secondary fuel module or the ignition module just give you those extra features if you want or ever need them. I never thought I'd have a built motor, but I do now. Alternatively, you could sell the PC-V and get a Bazzaz TC box that has it all and no need to ever upgrade.
Flash tune inc + buy any quick shifter sensor you want, cut a couple of wires, and you have a built in quickshifter for less than the other stuff. The guys at Flash tune are good and fast plus lifetime tunes and updates. Increase rev limiter, change cooling fan on/off temps, etc. If I had to do it again, I would not bother with a quick shifter. Is it cool: yes. Is it worth it, maybe. The fractions of a second "lost" on shifting are a mute point for track days. Buy good tires, or suspension work.
This!!! I would like one myself, but am nowhere near NEEDING one. That money could buy you a new set of some very sticky rubber!!:thumb:
If you have plenty of money blow it and buy what you want Having a quick shifter on the track is the second most fun thing to me on a bike - second to actually riding it! I think your analysis of your situation is accurate too; Dynojet is what I run on my bikes and they have excellent customer service. PCV, QEM, and the QS on my race bike and it's as smooth as butter. It was the cheapest option, as well, for what I could find.
All points taken. Thanks guys. Like I said, I'm just thinking about it. I'll most likely never "need" a quick shifter, but at some point I'm sure I'd love having one. I'll definitely need new tires before I make any further go-fast upgrades. If y'all want, I can make another thread on tires???op:
FWIW the push vs pull style is NOT simply gp vs std. it depends on your rearsets. my 08 R6 with woodcraft actually uses pull style for gp shift. vortex for same year and bike, use push for gp shift.
Right, I have Vortex rearsets. I step on the foot thingy, it makes the stick thingy go up and push on the other thingy, then magic happens and I go faster:bounce:
I recommend flashing your ECU thru Superbike Unlimited. Their ECU flashing service is great and turnout is the same day. Your bike will fell so smooth and you will get some extra ponnies. Let them know to enable Quickshifter on your ECU and then buy any QS you want. Dynojet, Bazzaz or Danos Perforemance ( I just ordered Danos) Best price and good reviews. Stay away from Annitori QS. ECU flashing service at Superbike Unlimited costs $90 EDIT: I just found out Danos QS does not need any computer to operate it: Check it out http://www.danosperformance.com/yamaha_r1_r6_quick_shifter.htm
Already had it flashed. Huey at Marietta Motorsports did it while I watched and he explained everything he was doing as he went though it. Best $100 I've spent on that bike so far.
Considering all the responses, I think i'll wait a while to get a QS and focus on handling an improving my own abilities. Me want de Ohlins goodies.
