    Speedzter the clutch now starts to take up when the closest part of the lever is about half inch from the grip! Who would of thunk .4 of a mm could make that much difference, read about it on one of the yank M8 forums I think it was.

    It's good when things go to plan.
    Should improve those race launches !
    Still easy to get into neutral ?

    Yep, no drama on neutral, i put that pink shit in it this time to see if makes any difference with the box, only done a quick ride but noticed downshifts are smoother.

    There ya go PB, now the rear tyre is legally ratshit, front has 28000 on it, that's not a bad innings, I would go a little further if the rear was going to be the same again but I'm changing brands so will do both.
    Having a lift is great for old fuckers as well, even if it is a cheap piece of crap it suits my needs with a few mods.

    Hard to believe it will change things that much, we shall see !!
    So still happy using the quickshifter , or bored with it yet ?
    I'm thinking it could be fun, but the novelty might wear off ?

    quickshifter, ok.
    don't use it around town etc.
    out in the country etc, using abit of throttle, i like it.
    1st - 2nd still too aggressive, nothing you can do about it.

    I'm dead opposite... Use the quickshifter pretty much 100% of the time - from 1st to 2nd upshifts to up and down when commuting on the freeway into work.  Its just so damn easy and convenient to not have to worry about the clutch or throttle all the time; just a flick of the foot upwards and your in the next gear no worries.
    Gosh I love that thing; particularly in race mode from a standing start...lol

    Same
    Have them on both my bikes and the only time I don't use is if i'm in slow traffic and stay in a gear at the same RPM for a while.

    On my bike with 85,000km is soooo smooth.

    On my bike with 16,000km its not as smooth but feels more racey.

    Well, emailed, no reply, then rang the Healtech supplier in Queensland, AMC. He had no knowledge of the quickshifter. Told me to contact Healtech direct. Can you guys give me some details of who to contact etc.

    Ring this bloke, if you want to run a shift light tell him up front so you get the upgraded one.

    That's shit Wello, try a dealer further away via the phone, I'm in Townsville and my last trade was bloody shit, I went with it anyway but a mate rang the dealer in Adelaide and sight unseen he offered more, logistics just didn't make it worth it for me but it might for you, no harm in making a few calls.

    Welcome mate, it's a wicked bit of kit, holding it at wot in the upper revs and flicking gears is mad, I have the light set at 5800 and still blow through it sometimes, shit is happening a bit fast for my aging reflexes but you don't have to ride like that to enjoy it, if no traffic problems around town is fine, I can do 1 to 2 now no drama.

    Going back to this, gone as far as I can with the SE stuff, it's ok but TTS is light years ahead.

    Even the dealers don't offer the SE tuner by default(at least in Australia). I ticked the box for Stage 1 with my new bike and got a Maximus tuner without even asking.

    The new SE stuff is pretty basic Ross, the older Super Tuner like I have has a lot more functionality, the Maximus is decent I'm told, not tuned with it personally though.
    I did the intake valve opening test this morning and set that accordingly, did one data run on flightrecorder, didn't hit advanced so didn't realise it would cut off recording at a certain rpm, has new features since i last used TTS 7 years ago but it's still familiar enough to muddle through, will do another run this afternoon, it's interesting to me.

    First run, rev limited...

    Second

    Coming along nicely really, this was just on the flat country, I'll get up in the hills with it and load it up some for a bit more coverage, cruise section is sweet though, doing it blind is not as easy as with a tablet on the bars but still doable.

    Hi Hilly, I see you have gone back to the TTS tuner. I'm also tuning with Lambda on my new 2019 Fat Boy, and it's much quicker to tune than my old AFR based bike. I'm using a mounted tablet to tune with, and the cells only take a few second to fill at steady throttle positions. - Rob

    Hello Rob, yes mate I've returned to the fold, firing it up feels like visiting an old friend :)
    It is much quicker for sure, higher data rate than the older version of communication, I noticed how quickly the cells populated doing the idle area when hooked to the desktop, watching the histogram I also noticed how stable the 12mm 02's are compared to the 18mm variety, rarely do they go offline.
    My tablet screen died unfortunately, I'm still undecided on a replacement, what model are you using? All my bracketry is designed for my old dell 10", would not want to go much bigger than that I don't think.
