Use the clutch

Not sure why would want to do that but... I think you can actually disable it with an app like motoscan or gs911.
But then again, why?

Unplug it
Or just don’t use it
Did a bit of reading around. On the Triumph you just go into the menus and disable it.
But then again, the Triumph one is actually pretty smooth, so you probably wouldn't want to.
Yes, clearly, you can just use the clutch. But what you can't do is put any pressure on the gear shifter in preparation for a quick and smooth manual change. Also clutchless upshifts become quickshifter upshifts far too easily.
From what I've read, unplugging it results in a warning light.
Now... If only I could switch off the linked brakes without also torpedo-ing the ABS.

Clutchless upshifts are quickshifter upshifts. Are you saying you want to do it like back in the 80s? You bought the wrong bike

In enduro pro mode the brake balancing is not active

I agree its a fuck awful waste of space - check motoscan - possible they have the ability to switch it off
as with a Triumph it ought to be in the user menus of the instrument cluster - the only peculiarity there is the Triumph one works unobtrusively, so you can leave it on without it being a persistent irritant
Literally takes up zero space. WTF are you talking about? Speaking of persistent irritants....
Odd maybe, but having picked up a 1300GS last week, I've been wondering the same.
The quickshifter on my old R1200R was very good as long as I remembered to use it and didn't twitch the throttle on the upshifts. The one on the GS is definitely a lot lumpier; I can get smoother clutchless changes, both up and down, on my Triumph and that doesn't have a quickshifter.
It may be a calibration thing, but I had been thinking of turning it off while I get used to everything else on the bike but it seems it's not an option.

Not if the quick shift is anywhere near as bad as the one on my 1200GSA lc
Can’t fault my 1250GSA, what’s so bad about the 1300 ?
I just nudge mine up the box from second to sixth, I was advised not to use it between first and second. I never quick shift down the ratios as I don’t think it can ease the torque back in like a multi-plate clutch pack can.

My experience with the 1300 GS one is that it can be something approaching smooth going up from 3rd, 4th or 5th. But you really have to be careful about how much throttle you're using at the time otherwise it jolts quite badly. Also, if you lack any conviction in the process it occasionally serves you up a false neutral. It doesn't happen so much these days as I have learned to work around it.
I test rode the 1250GSA but don't remember how the quickshifter performed. I do have a Rocket 3, and have tried the Triumph Explorer GT Pro - both of which are silky smooth up and down no matter what speeds you're doing. It can also be disabled in settings, hence me wondering if BMW took the same approach.
