Thoughts After Recall

I’m happy that your quickshifter works even better, you’re fortunate.

 

I'm glad to read that your quick shifter is working well, @Clarky231. I know other forum members have had lots of issues with their's but I, like you, have had good luck and success with mine. I had mine changed out even before the recall notice came out based on information I learned on this forum. My local dealership was very cooperative and helpful. Hope yours continues to shift like butter.

 

This is a very sore spot for me. In North America the quickshifter comes with the RS model, so yes I have had it on “both” of my Speed RS’s. I’ve also had the new linkage on both bikes. Even with the new linkage the quickshifter destroyed the gearbox on the first bike. On the replacement bike it still false neutrals as well, so I have it deactivated. Triumph has not been able to resolve the issue for me. I’ve called triumph North America and sent an email to the CEO, but they obviously don’t have a fix for the issue. By the way, with the new linkage it’s impossible that the quickshifter won’t work as well as it did before. Unless it was installed incorrectly somehow, it will work just like it did before. The only difference is, it now won’t contact the quickshifter. Did yours even make contact with the quickshifter when the original linkage was on the bike? You see the contact wasn’t the issue on my two bikes. There is more going on than that. And it’s odd that only some speed rs’s have this issue. I rode a BMW S1000R and the quickshifter was flawless and much quicker to upshift as well. I test rode it for about 20 minutes and I was ringing it neck when up shifting to see what would happen. It was a very nice quickshifter. Anyway, it’s too bad because the speed rs is an awesome machine, but the experience hasn’t been as rosy as I’d hoped for.

Great now stop worrying go and ride the bike. If it did for some reason go wrong it's covered but it won't. You have my word for that.

I had mine done when I stopped by the dealer and they told me of the recall. I actually did have a few blown downshifts and one upshift. No troubles now and when I saw the original linkage there was obvious contact just below the pivot.
