Quick shifters
 

Ok Im toying with the idea of fitting a Dyno quick shifter for my 999. Is there any one that is using one on here? Have you had any problems with it? Did it make a big diffrence? And before we get on to it, yes i can use the clutch, but fancy something diffrent and a little more bling. Where is the cheapest place to get one, if i do decide to go ahead in the UK. It's to hook up to a power commander 3 USB.

I had a Techtronics one on my 966R - fabulous bit of kit - especially on trackdays, the ability to just keep the throttle pinned and just snick through the 'box is a delight.

Mine was a bit of a bugga to get right, and I'd recommend getting someone who knows what they're doing to set it up, but once set up, you'll wonder why yuo hadn't fitted one earlier.

I have a JHP Ducati one fitted to my old Senna by the infamous Nelly.

When I first tested it I had to look carefully to check she had changed gear it is so smooth, a staedy increase in mph and slight drop in revs were the only real clues.

One of the best mods I ever made for trackwork, particularly Nurburg where some corners are so long in places you need to change up mid corner and trying to get a handfull of clutch or simply rolling off to chage up can be quite interesting, good if you like wrestling crocodiles, bad if you want a smooth exit on full power.

It is of little use on the road unless you just want to blast down a straight road and change gear easily, and remember to switch it off when not needed. It can be a little embarrasing 'po-going' down the road as your left foot hits and misses the gear selector just enough to break ignition but not enough to change gear.

I would highly reccomend one if you do much trackwork, but would say no for road use, my '2 pennoth' worth.

Cheers

Just got back from my 150 mile favourate route ,first real chance to try out the jhp techtronic quickshifter.
What a fabulous bit of kit,keep it pinned and a quick prod on the lever,superb.
I would echo 2 points already made,1 have it fitted by someone who knows what there doing (like if you move the lever you have to reset the system) and 2 not so good on the road at anything other than full bore.
Go for it

Sound like these are not used on the road much. I would be using it on the road but i still like the idea.

I wouldnt say dont use it on the road,its just at lower engine speeds the change is not that smooth.
Great fun when you'r pushing on!
Butch

I think i will try on and see if i like it.

Has anyone fitted the power comander quickshifter and what it's like to fit. Pics if you have them.999 fitting

I've had the Techtronics shifter now for about a year. It's got to be one of the best mods on the bike. We tried a few German versions but they were unreliable in the wet. Yes, it's a good bit of kit. It's up there with the slipper clutch and I use mine on the road as well. But like Butch890 says, the rev's need to up in the 5-6000 for it to be smooth

I have been speaking to a man earlier on the phone who said that you can still use the clutch as long as you set it to about 6000 rpm. So you could ride around town normal and then once giving it the berrys it would then come in to play. i need to see one on the bike. Power commander show the unit but not on the bike. they say this model mounts to the frame so could be intresting.

The Techtronics comes with a switch. So when you don't want to use it you just switch it off

Got the same JHP/Techtronics on my 999, use it all the time to be honest, had a similar item on my 998S, but have now switched to the race pattern on the 999, brilliant bit of kit to be honest.

As has been said it is switcheable so you can turn it on or off.

I was speaking to JHP re:- dynojet q/shifter via my PCIII but he/they said they've had loads of problems trying to get them working consistently

Just to give the other side of the argument...my SP came with a techtronics QS fitted, and after about 6 months, I removed it.

As said, unless you are giving it the berries, it really isn't any use. On the track...I can see its benifits...perhaps...but if you are talking about riding it on the road, where lets face it, you can't give it a handfull everywhere, then the changes from it will be clunky and jerky (technical terms!), and cannot be doing your gearbox any favours at all.

Horses for courses I guess.

Wouldn't use it one on the road, wouldn't race without one.

At the very least make sure you get one with a switch. If you don't go on trackdays or race, you might find it'll be mainly switched off after the initial "it's new/must use it" period.

Techtronics shifter will be the way i go. So i will ring JHP tommorow to get some more info and prices. It my birthday today so i will treat the Ducati to another new toy. :lol:
