Rule #1 on this site.
Always follow what Rook and Hub (if you understand Hubspeak) say.
These two guys are amazing.
Plus check out Rook's how to's.
The guy now knows enough on the 14 to consult to Kawasaki...
Do you feel the Quickshifter worth the buy?
I think its relative and what you want from it.
Personally I love my HM Plus and am very happy it's on my bike.
I don't use it all the time but when I need it it's there and works extremely well.
I predominantly use it on the track or when I need max acceleration when some fool or mate is trying to race me which is not often.
Except for 1st-2nd shifts where I rarely use it anyway (but can sometimes cause a clunky un-smooth shift), everything else is super smooth as long as
- your quick shifter is installed, adjusted and set correctly
- you shift at fairly high rev ranges
- your shifts are very definite and not half hearted otherwise you risk a false neutral
It works for me and I wouldn't change it.
The only two additives I would have liked is "specific gear" adjustment rather than "across the board" range and auto down shift option.
These are available on the market but of course the related cost skyrockets.
Again only you can say if the type and brand of quick shifter you have selected is worth it but I am a definite HM Plus quick shifter fan...
