I think we're in violent agreement. Model year 2014 bikes start somewhere in August 2013 iirc.
So do you know if there's a plan to tweek the 2013 software ??
That's a question for your dealer. I can guess at the answer though.
On order as of today, think mine is one of the first 2014 spec bikes (with steering damper) & purchased first week in October 2013 from Pidcocks..

Giles I think it's a bit more than software that needs tweaking, something to do with wiring loom, i'm in the same boat with an early bike but im thinking of going with the retrofit translogic.

aiyayayayaya !

From the gear lever side have a look on the back of the gearbox there should be a black plug with a cap on it, this will identify it, apart from asking your dealer. Thats the loom that plugs into the quick shitter .
Yes, Understood.
I'm on PCP and will be upgrading in 14 / 15 months or so, so I'll just have to suffer Nutty's gloating for a little while longer ....
Have a look or do you want a video too?

No failure jtb, I, clearly, am the subject of this particular argument as I can't speak about the purpose for which others have bought their bikes. I was following up on our privileged friend GP Longford's contribution for whom the primary reason for adding the accessory was simply because 'he could'. Rather strange rationale given that I suspect we all could and thus I couldn't resist a riposte. Prior to that I was sharing my confusion with the Norwegian BMW dealership, albeit the reason for my confusion was different.
As I see it, the gear shift assist will certainly help the second-hand buyer because it would suggest that the bike was bought and used almost exclusively on tarmac. Please don't misunderstand, Waitrose runs are a perfectly good use of the bike, I'm just envious because we don't have said supermarket chain in NI, meaning I have to stop in at your stores en route to Kabul!
so if you're selling a bike with a quick shifter, take it off and sell it separately. win-win 
..and don't let on here that you had one

Mr Ding Dong.
Would appreciate a picture of the said Plug. I had a look behind my shift lever. Lots of plugs and connections , but nothing that isn't plugged to something else I would have to say.
My dealer has checked my VIN number and has duly ordered the quickshifter. I would rather double check.
cheers and thanks in advance.

My experience is that this only makes the bike better. Off-road takes more of a toll by far. I'd be happy to buy your bike off of you Cookie
