Erm no mate, they are bullet proof, never been a failure in history - as explained time and again in this thread...
Mike has used HM for years. And has just destroyed his second 1*98 in 7 trackdays and 2 race weekends. He also destroyed several 748 boxes, but not to point of failure but point of wearing out so needed replacing. But he had the motor refreshed once a year...and new gearbox or cogs to go with it! Having ridden my multi and 848 back to back with jap bikes, the distance between gears seems a lot more. With my gixer, it falls in seamlessly (as did my other one). And clutchless is easier too without a QS
Not sure why having a QS would make it harder to clutchless shift. It's still a rod from lever to gearbox. And I would have thought clutchless shifting would damage the gearbox just the same a QS would. When clutchless shifting you roll the throttle off but it is only slightly so you are still putting similar stress on the gearbox.
My 1098R came fitted with a NOVA gearbox by it's previous owner. He said 3rd became slightly notchy so forked out on the NOVA box and Nemesis TC / QS at the same time. Good for me, but I only rarely use the QS on full chat, at normal / quick road speeds, it's very smooth. I have a receipt from JHP for this work for, ahem...........£8,600 He was from Jersey, so there was no VAT on that either.
2011 1198’s had it fitted as standard on base model along with traction control. Both werent really that great by todays standards.
Seems to not be. Maybe because it’s lower Rev shift and the the throttle is closed more than a QS does. Could also be the setting on the QS isn’t right for the bike of course.
I think it's more the case of the settings not being right. Been doing some reading up on the HM web site and it's a fairly involved process.
Yes I'd love one, particularly as I've a couple of open gearboxes on the table right now, if only they were a bit cheaper
I think the gearbox itself was about £2.5k. Then you have all of the appropriate seals, bearings, fitting etc. I'll post the picture of the 4 pages of receipts from JHP listing all the parts when I get a moment for a laugh. Like I say, I'm glad I have it, but more so that I didn't foot the bill for it.
