Hi Guys, Im waiting for my new Multi to arrive in 2 weeks and I'm after a quickshifter for it. I'm told that the Translogic one on my 2013 Pikes Peak will not fit it. Is there anywhere where I can get one Yet for the DVT.
Having ridden the 1299 Panigale and new BMW 1000XR both fitted with quick shifters and auto blippers I think Ducati have missed a trick by not fitting them to the new Multi. However when I mentioned it to the dealer I'm told that Multi gearbox has larger clearances so won't suit a quick shifter.
Hmm, my mate has a quick shifter on his 2014 GS water cooled and that box isn't as 'slick' as the new DVT box, so I'm not convinced about that TBH?
I am just wondering why people need a quick shifter? I have ridden an 1199 Panigale and the QS was nice but really only needed on the track. On the DVT my QS is coordination between the right hand and left foot
Your bike, your choice. No idea why anyone would put a QS on a multi. More unnecessary than a gauge to tell you you have lost 1psi...
The throttle isn't pinned at 6k, which is what its designed to do, so why not just clutchless? Less potential damage, just as quick and smooth. Each to their own
The only thing I miss from my last bike is the QS (S1000R). I used it all the time, wish my DVT had one....
I had a Translogic on my 2013 Pikes Peak and that worked brilliantly, unfortunately it doesn't fit the 2015 DVT model
I had a QS on my naked BMW K1300R and frightened the crap out of me. Made me go faster with the throttle pinned. To flippin quick for my liking. Nah, not again.
was that on the twin spark model ?- trying to get tuneboy version to work on my 14 PP with poor results so thinking of ditching it for a Translogic as had one on the Diavel if it fits the twin spark
I love quick shifters, the one on my s1000r is brilliant and even the Tuono v4 one was nice. I'm not sure whether it's not quite as smooth a transition when in a twin? Perhaps that's what it is and why Ducati don't bother
I wonder how a quickshifter (with downshift blipper) would interface with the variable valve timing system? Perhaps no-one has worked this out yet.
Can't see that VVT would matter. Most, if not all interface with the ignition. If you can clutchless shift on the DVT then no reason why an electronic one should not work.
