Thinking of changing my K1300R for a 1200S Monster. Believe quick shifter became standard on these a few years ago - could anyone advise when as fairly essential to me due to damaged left arm. Also any experience or views on the qs and anything to be aware of, have or not have on these bikes? Cheers
I bought a 1200s with it.brand new on 1st Sept. My previous 3 bikes were all BMW with very smooth QS. The L twin of the monster isn't as smooth as the in line 4's hence the QS isn't as smooth either. But I find it still very good. It was notchy whilst being run in but now it is and with the first oil & filter service it is getting smoother. This is prob due to being able to use the higher rev range now but I'm still very happy
Cannot comment on the monster pr the QS, but welcome to the forum, I am sure someone will be able to provide the info you need.
The QS on my 1260s Multistrada isn't great, you need to be decisive and positive to get it working well. Found the one on the Monster 1260s I had on demo better, a recent loan of a Monster 821 Stealth better still but there were some false neutrals in there. The one on the V4S I had as the service loan bike previously was sublime but was expecting that.
