Right fella's here goes and i apologise if my punctuation is not up yo scratch I'm sure you'll get the gist of things.
The kit is £275 from translogic exclusive of vat, if you call HPS and speak to Ben or Giles, mention my name and they will do it for £295 inclusive.
Now you get everything in the box apart from a right hand thread gear linkage. Now one of them on the gs is right and one left. So i brought a linkage off eBay for £12 from a early 12gs as they use right hand threads as you need 2 right hand threaded ends to fit the shifter into the linkage.
Wiring it up is now straight forward because I've done the hard work for David Bruton (Product Manager of translogic). There's neg and positive these go to the battery. Next the instructions will state you take the interrupt wires to the stick coils not on the gslc because it will throw up engine light detecting the interruption as a fault as bmw have upped the canbus system on the new bikes, so instead you take the interrupt wires to the throttle bodies, there's 2 wires on each body, 1-live positive feed and the other is the interrupt wire, you tap into the interrupt wire on each throttle body.
There is a black lockout wire this overrides the quickshifter Ecu when you pull the clutch in and goes to the earth on the clutch switch. Next step remove the gear linkage, 1 clip on each ball ends (2in total) that hold the stock on and you just pull to remove and once you remove measure the distance so you can refit back the same, fit the quickshifter body and refit than plug it in and bingo jobs done.
I was told it could not be done impossible was the word ! but its not the 1st time someone from bmw on £75k a year has told me this they also told me i could not swop the indicators buttons around on my twin cam but i did . Dynojet do a stand alone quickshifter but it interrupts the coils so will bring up fault, alternative buy pc5 and quickshifter to go with it @ £530 !
I've had shifters on various bikes hp2 my TC, k12 and several others there very addictive and once you have tried one you will be smitten. I'm aware peeps say they can replicate the same effect but you can't not as quick or as smooth your just kidding yourself.
Its all plug and play you can refit everything back to stock in 30mins, and my test ride proved it to be very positive tapping up the box from second up with no clunk, just a pop from the exhaust, oh it's good, and i do clarify someone else's statement putting into first there is a clunk but after i heard a trumpet explorer engage 1st yesterday i can tell you we should not be moaning.
One thing I've noticed, after having my bike serviced they have overfilled the engine oil and all my problems started after this ! So this week I'm doing an oil change.
Why don't BMW should fit a quickshifter as an option ! and if any bods buy a kit and need assistance and local'ish I'm more than happy to assist in the fitting, foc.
Happy days.
I'd be interested to know more.
