Looking at buying the quick shifter but want to know how well it works before I buy any reviews or thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Anyone have a quickshifter already?

I had the QS installed with my 1K service. It’s nice, but they need to line the software out a little better. It’s rather abrupt and clunky, but is still fun to use for spirited riding. Wouldn’t call it a necessary upgrade by any means.

Down shifting feels smooth to me. Up shifting not so much.... But overall I like it and think it was a good add.
Its fun coming off the line or powering out of corners. It does take a little time to get use to in. The Directions do not indicate to use any threadlocker. My rear bolt fell out at 700 miles. Lucky I did not loose it. after 45 min I was back in action. The rear bolt is tricky to get to. Its a fun addition, but I do not think its a must have.

I find that it works very well on downshifts - but does seem to require a firmer step at higher RPMs. Upshifting works best for me under 5k, and is sensitive to what footwear I’ve selected. My previous BMW shifters worked better on up shifts, but weren’t perfect, either.
I’ll hope that there is a flash improvement at some point, but would still install one…

I have one on my 2022 bike upshift ok down shift with clutch.

Feels the same to me. Downshift is very smooth, but I have to put too much force to upshift.
Is there any setting we can adjust to make it better?

It also happened to me. I was on the road and suddenly I wasn't able to shift anymore. I stopped and saw that I had lost the screw. Was saved by a piece of wire and a pair of calipers. Was ale to get back home and just installed a new screw.

I was having trouble with my quickshifter. It was installed by a HD dealer.
I took the bike to a specialist in performance bikes and he fixed the quickshifter for me.
He told me that this is a common problem with all kinds of quickshifters from all brands.
The problem was that the lever weren't in parallel. They MUST be for the system to work perfectly. They don't need to be VERTICALLY. They must be PARALLEL to each other.
See the images I posted bellow. In my case mine were in the RED position.
After adjusting it my quickshifter now works just fine - UP and DOWN!

That could explain why some work well, and some don’t. I went out and checked mine and the lever arms are parallel. Thanks for the feedback.

I had the QS installed at delivery in Yuma, AZ. When I had the 1K service done at the CA dealership in San Diego, the QS no longer functioned. When I asked the tech about this, he wasn't able to help me and said they not permitted to flash the bike for QS functionality (CA..yay). So, I'll need to ride my back to Yuma at some point to get the flash down that will restore functionality. But I must admit that I'm not really missing the QS all that much.
This is good to know, I tried to order one and it said they wouldn't ship to California, but the dealer can order it! It's a California registered bike so I'm wondering if a trip to Vegas would yield the appropriate flash? I'm near Torrance BTW.
My dealer in Ca tried to order but they found out that they won't even ship to them. Not sure how dealerships outside of Ca would deal with a Ca registered bike as far as installation or performing the flash required by them. I was thinking of going that route myself but not so sure anymore hearing that a Ca reflash during service will disable it anyway.
@ornrry1 @Player_456 I live in Ventura County CA and ordered my quick shifter from a Harley shop online. I had a local dealership enable the quick shifter for me. They had no issues in doing so and made no mention of the lack of CARB-EO.
