I'm thinking of fitting a quick shifter, either the Healtech or HM lite but can't seem to find any info regarding their compatibility with a Power Comander V. Probably just my poor google skills but can anyone shed any light? I'm guessing it's a fairly common set up, so would the install be the same with/without a PC or is there anything I need to consider?
Wait until next year and get one of the new blades. Two of them come with quick shifters as standard.
Ok thanks for that. I was being a bit thick thinking the PC had connections to the coils instead of injectors. I'm leaning toward the Healtech having read Lambchops reviews but I like the "just buy a new Blade" thinking. I thought my man maths were good but that sir is a whole new level. Thanks chaps.
No issues with my HM racing QS in over 15k miles now. Keep in mind the new base model blade I don't think has a QS... SP and SP2 only iirc.
Have a think on the new woolich racing shifters which will be soon available, made by Cordona and you don't have to connect to the coils. Just activate it by the Race tools software. Failing that then look at the HM QS plus. Always pop up 2nd hand.
Hava a look at the Translogic mate. Lambchops did a review on youtube. Otherwise i would go with the HM Plus. Lambs did a review of the most popular
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282257580872 I had one of these on my 2013 abs blade and is fantastic, read the reviews on his ebay page, easily fitted to, plug and play, highly recommended and are decent money mate
A mate has one ... it's rather brutal on the gearbox and isn't strain gauge like the HM and translogic units.
Harder than a strain gauge yes, but better than the dynojet units as they are digital rather than mechanical. Strain gauges are used by HM Racing, Cordona, Translogic, etc. and are the best type of QS to use as they sense amount of effort on the lever in either direction.
I have always wandered what "strain Guage" actually means. I know it is supposed to put less strain on the gearbox and all that. The HM plus along with Translogic,Cordona and the new type Bazzaz are strain guage but in respect to the HM ones, how does the unit actually know how to reduce the strain on the box? As far as I undertstand it the qs sensor activates the cut in the spark and the lcd control unit controls the pressure need on the shift rod and kill times. Thay also do a seamless shift type and GP unit now. I mean these are electrical and not mechanical items. If I was in the market for one I think id plump for the Translogic Intellishift, after watching Lamb Chops review video.
Strain gauge has nothing to do with putting strain on the 'box, it is about how the shift sensor works, a strain gauge sensor is the most accurate repeatable kind of sensor http://www.sensorland.com/HowPage002.html the PCV has adjustable times in the settings so you can set it for each individual gear
Healtech is good enough can be setup using an app on your phone. I have the earlier version but the latest one is better. Can be set to work up and or down shift and race or standard shift. Plus you don't need a new shift rod. Support is excellent too
It's my understanding that one of the issues is longevity. Strain gauge isn't going to wear out on you. Always found the HM lite perfectly good (albeit on high sensitivity). Was about to fit another to my new blade but found a second hand hm plus instead. Just trying to find the time to pull the whole bike apart to fit it!
I have the healtech on my rr6 was'nt bad to fit and with the app you can alter at any time found it really good bit of kit only fault was my doing setting the pressure on the gear lever i had it to stiff and hit a false neutral a few times used the app to alter pressure not had a problem since
