race shift is so much better Anth, takes a week or so to get used to but it feels so much more natural.848 is the first conventional shift bike I have owned in a long time and thats only because its outside my budget to convert.
I'm the opposite....I've only used a race shift once, only for a few miles and kept on making an arse if it, so I've stayed clear since. I should give it another go, but it could end up expensive if I couldn't get on with it.
I done the same when I first went to reverse shift but once I got used to it the gear changes felt quicker and also the upshift on long left handers were easier.I rem riding the 848 back from the showroom and kicking it down a gear at 70mph ops
^ this It takes only a few miles and race shift becomes alot more natural. When pressing on, your weight is firm on the pegs and it's heck of lot easier to tap down than curl your toe under the peg and lift. Matching revs on downshifts is also easier lifting when the lifting motion is more deliberate than an accidental push down. Should mention that these are extremely easy to install yourself (plug and play) and are fully reversible back to standard if you decide to sell your bike etc.
Updated to add for clarification: included with the QS is the plug and play loom that just plugs inline to the existing cabling. ie, there is NO splicing/cutting of wires at all. Also, the unit does NOT require a Power Commander as it has all the circuitry to manage all the necessary electronics/injectors/etc. £300 all in to anywhere in the UK.
I had one of these from hm for my 996 and it was for a 3 wire coil loom. Mine is a 2 wire coil. Is your loom 2 or 3 wire?
I am weak! I couldn't Supposed to be saving for a paint job on the Superlight!!! Guess I need a slipper clutch to match.........oh never ending......mother!!
