  1. Has anyone tried the rapidbike quickshifter/blipper?

    I’ve got the rapidbike evo already and the up and down quickshifter is only an extra £300

    Looks easy enough to fit and is adjustable via the software etc.

    Thanks

  2. Are you sure it has a blipper function? I asked Yaman (US distributor of Rapid Bike) a year or 2 ago about their quickshifter and plans for a blipper function, and then he said that Rapid Bike didn't want to or couldn't easily access the throttle function to make a blipper work, so it is only a quickshifter, and there were no plans to implement a blipper function.

    I liked my Rapid Bike, but ended up going with Tuneboy to get both the cruise control and the blipper function.

  4. I’ve got a BSD quickshifter/autoblipper I’ll be selling shortly, if that helps :)

  5. Think it would probably work but the rapidbike one is all integrated with the tuning module and software so might work better?

  6. Cool - learned something new today, I liked the RB and their software, so as they now provide that option I would also go for the integrated solution for ease of setup :)

  7. Makes sense.
    I went the other way and just had the ECU fuelling set up properly (for the track)

  10. Manual blips? I left that behind when I used to ride 2 strokes in the late 80’s. Over rated.

  13. Did you get one?

  14. No not yet. Maybe eventually depends on how many Trackdays I plan on doing in it really

  15. Found £300 down the back of the sofa so I treated my loved one to one of these shift assist kits. I'll let you know what it's like one I start using it.

  16. Had my first outing using the rapid bike QS with blipper on the 899 at Cadwell yesterday. What a fantastic bit of kit. Will upload a video to YouTube when I get chance but coupled with a sigma slipper the downshifts are super smooth. Would definitely recommend for the track.

  17. Tried mine yesterday for the first time. Brilliant bit of kit, shifts are so smooth. I never thought it would be this good.

    If your thinking about getting one, Do it

  19. I am also interested in you feedback, thanks gents.
    as I was looking at this add on for the Rb Evo that i have on the 1199,
    how was the mechanical change from Oem to RB shifter? did you require a shift rod as well? or was it a one for one swap with the Standard shift rod assembly ?
    cheers

  20. Measure your existing shift rod then make up the RB rod and strain gauge to match. All will become obvious when you get the kit.
