Annitori QS Pro Quickshifter Installation + Riding (GSX-R 1000)

Installation process and riding experience with an Annitori QS Pro 2016 Quickshifter. Hope this helps other people decide if they want to buy it and if they feel like they can install it themselves or have a professional do it (I think anyone with a logical mind should be able to do it).

The greatest sport bike ever made. Love that 05,06

[@jryer1]

I got the 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000R, but the 2005 was my first Gixxer, and I still love the way that bike looks. Nice ride!

[@GerhardNL]

Thanks, it's still a wonderful bike to ride (and look at in my opinion)! Enjoy that 2017, love that bike!

[@244luki]

Great video buddy, you convinced me with that Annatori qs as I was looking on them too👍😉 thank you

[@GerhardNL]

You're welcome, enjoy!

[@danarcher3415]

Great informative video. Thank you very much for posting it.

Sky Dan You're welcome!

About to install on my L3 750... beautiful bike man!

[@GerhardNL]

Cool, I think you're going to love it!

Top video!!! Dit kan dus mogelijk mijn batterij probleem hebben opgelost. Ik heb onlangs een Triumph Daytona 675 gekocht met deze QS geïnstalleerd. Nu had ik wel een probleem met de batterij die altijd ontlade wat natuurlijk voor awkward situaties kan zorgen tijdens een pauze in een rit. Nu had ik er nog niet bij nagedacht om te controleren of de negatieve lead van de module aangesloten was op de negatieve van de batterij (dit is dus het geval). logisch dan dat de batterij telkens ontlaad aangezien hij power krijgt zoals je zegt. Ga nu testen als ik de negatieve aansluit op de ground van het achterlicht zoals je zegt en kijken of mijn batterij probleem is opgelost. YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER !!!!

[@GerhardNL]

Haha mooi te horen man, hopelijk lost dat het op!

[@MrD0minican]

Thx for the video man

[@GerhardNL]

You're welcome!

[@castillo33brandon]

detailed video dude! this works pretty relateable to my 06 600 gsxr. wierd suggestion-consider asmr lol

[@GerhardNL]

brandon castillo Okay thanks! Yeah it should be roughly the same for your 600. I used to have one of those aswell, great bikes. What's asmr?

[@fabzrustrider9838]

Beautiful motorcycle 👍🏾💯🇬🇧🇬🇧💯🇬🇧💯🇬🇧

[@brettnixon8344]

Good looking bike

[@GerhardNL]

Thanks, I don't have it anymore but I really loved that bike!

[@v87splash]

Great work on the Video man! are you still using that sensetivety and kill time?

[@GerhardNL]

Luybush Thanks man! Yeah those are the settings I use right now, they seem to work pretty well.

[@castlehillshutters6796]

Good vid. I am thinking of buying one of these for my GSXR 750. Have you had any issues and would you still recommend it?

[@GerhardNL]

Castle Hill Shutters Thx mate, no haven't had any issues with it so far. Actually did a 20 minute track session (Assen) yesterday and it worked great!

[@stugall]

Lovely video and great knowledge - from Stu... in bonnie Scotland. You been here?

[@GerhardNL]

Thanks Stu. No never been, but I hear it's beautiful up there!

[@stefaniedmms]

Quick question! Do you have gp-shifting? Otherwise why you'd put push instead of pull for the up shifting ? I just got one for my gixxer 750 Thanks in advance :)

[@GerhardNL]

Hey, I didn't have gp shifting on this bike. I think how they mean this is that you 'push' the sensor instead of pulling on it when you shift. Don't have the bike anymore but for regular shifting you use the pull-setting is what I remember. Have fun!

[@903assengsxr7]

So my 16 Gsxr 600 I can only upshift the transmission correct I have this an it works great someone was saying I can use it for downshift but I didn’t think we could thanks

[@GerhardNL]

Yeah I wouldn't recommend it. The annitori does support both up and down QS but as far as I know this option is meant to be used with GP (up)shifting. So when the shift linkage is set up so that 1st gear is up and 2nd etc. is down. (So not like the stock shifting pattern when 1st is down and 2nd etc. is up.) You set up the annitori for either push or pull depending on your setup (stock/GP). I'm told quickshifting both ways could result in gearbox damage on these bikes because these boxes weren't designed to work that way. Hope this helps!

[@indrockz92]

I'm considering of installing quickshifter on my Ninja 300. I'm a bit confused which one to get. Annitorri, healtech or dynojet.

[@GerhardNL]

Okay cool. I liked the annitori, a friend of mine likes his healtech and i'm sure the dynojet is a good product too. Don't think you can go wrong here, good luck mate!

[@raycox3698]

Hi. Could you tell me where there is information that explains "Sensitivity", "Kill time" and "RFX"? Are all three adjustable in the app? What is the on-road effect of increasing or decreasing these? Also, is it better to have a kill time (and/or sensitivty or RFX) that is as small as possible e.g. what happens if the setting is too small or too big?

[@GerhardNL]

Hey Ray, I'm afraid these questions are a bit above my pay grade :) Probably best to go to the source: Annitori themselves. All documentation about the QS should be on their website (annitoriqs.com/). Also under 'contact us' (annitoriqs.com/contact-us/) there's a form you can use. I've e-mailed them in the past and found them very helpful. Sorry I can't answer your questions, but I hope this helps!

[@EricBanner571]

Really good installation video. How has the reliability been so far. Any problems?

[@GerhardNL]

Honda CBR500R Thanks! No problems so far, I think I've ridden about 2.000 km or so with it installed. Really ads to the riding experience, love it.

[@Goinbig]

Have you changed the settings any more to make it better?

[@GerhardNL]

Mike Jones I haven't, but something I'd like to try is lowering the gear lever a little bit (about a centimeter). Maybe then I could also try a slightly lower sensitivity setting. But these are minor finetuning tweaks I probably haven't done yet because there isn't a really a reason for it; the shifter works fine. Have you got one too?

[@EricBanner571]

Do you also use it on the down shift? and if so how smooth is it?

[@GerhardNL]

Honda CBR500R No I don't, I'd ruin the gearbox if I'm not mistaken. I think you'd need a bike with a gearbox that's been specifically designed for that (like the newer S1000RR's). Having the option might come in handy though if one day I'd like GP shifting (so 1 up and 5 down instead of the standard pattern), because I think then I'd have to use the opposite setting.

[@ferarroyo8541]

Very good explained. Just one question. Do you have the regular shifting setting or the GP style? Thanks in advance.

[@GerhardNL]

Fer Arroyo Thanks! I have a regular shifting pattern, but you can select either push or pull on the qs (or even both) so it also works with GP shifting.

[@ferarroyo8541]

Excellent! Thank you very much

[@Robinho378]

Olá! Como você conectou o aplicativo do celular ao equipamento instalado na motocicleta? Você cortou o vídeo não consegui ver. Pode me ajudar?

[@GerhardNL]

Olá Robinho! Once the quickshifter is powered on it should be visible on your phone's bluetooth page to connect. Check out the annitori downloads page at annitoriqs.com/downloads/. There's a doc for connecting to android and one for iphone. Hope this helps!

[@62zorroman]

Hi good video. I have the same bike. For last 7 years had therl gen 2 shifter. Very happy until the other week some rats got in my garage and cut the sensor and led module cables clean in half. The module works fine but when you make a shift the led which is chosen lights up for each gear change. My module doesnt get the signal so shifter wont engage. I notice on the new pro model the sensor is replaceable. Any ideas cheers Tony

[@GerhardNL]

Hey thanks Tony! Sorry but I have no ideas mate... Maybe you could email them with some pics to explain.

[@62zorroman]

No worries hopefully sort it

[@naif70]

Hi.. do you recommend buying the Annitori QS? have you faced any issues with shifting? what about the quality? really waiting for the feedback. Thanx

[@GerhardNL]

Hey man, yeah I never had any problems with it so I'd recommend it. Great upgrade, it really added to the fun I had on this bike (I don't own this bike anymore). Compared to other offerings for quickshifters I picked the annitori for sensor design, the app that comes with it and the pricepoint. Hope this helps.

[@naif70]

@@GerhardNL Thanx buddy

[@jackroyce594]

by the way your video is nice

[@GerhardNL]

Thanks, hope it helps!

[@lunaticolandiaradio321]

Can you use the quickshifter clutch less or do you still have to use the clutch for first gear and goes up.

[@GerhardNL]

Hey, you only use the clutch to click into first gear and release when you want to start moving. After that you don't need the clutch. But it works better in higher rev ranges and when you accelerate. I have another video called annitori road test that shows this.

[@lunaticolandiaradio321]

@@GerhardNL awesome thanks

[@Siempremoto1]

Hello, I make a query, I install it in my ZX10 2013, but it happens to me that by moment it is activated alone. Did not happen to you

[@GerhardNL]

Chinop S Okay I don't fully understand what happens exactly, but maybe sensitivity is too high? You can always email the guys over at Annitori, they're very helpful.

[@grumpysquid]

How would this do with settings for non-track, every day commuting?

[@GerhardNL]

I used it pretty much exclusively for daily rides, so in my experience I loved it for that.

[@matthijsruisaard8862]

Top video! Ik was benieuwd waar je de module in Nederland kan bestellen. Cheers!

[@GerhardNL]

Dank je! Ik heb hem zelf rechtstreeks in de VS besteld. Wel rekening houden met wat importkosten uiteraard, maar dat verliep prima. Adres in NL zou ik niet weten... Volgens mij is er geen NL importeur. Misschien kun je mazzel hebben dat er 1 op marktplaats oid staat.

[@matthijsruisaard8862]

@@GerhardNL Thanks! Verwacht niet dat ik er eentje tweedehands ga vinden, heb er overigens ook liever eentje nieuw. Bedankt voor de info en ride on!

[@GerhardNL]

@@matthijsruisaard8862 Okee graag gedaan, succes he!

[@Waleed.alhamidi]

.Will it affect the gearbox in the long run?

[@GerhardNL]

As far as I understand it shouldn't. It cuts the ignition so the load is off when you shift and the gearbox should be fine. Also on new bikes it's pretty much standard these days. But I'm no mechanic though. But what I can say for certain is that it's freaking awesome to shift like this :)

[@waltercosta5293]

Wat is de prijs om dit te installeren op een zx10r 2008 ?

[@GerhardNL]

Geen idee, een paar uren maal het werkplaatsuurloon als je het laat doen denk ik. Maar zelf doen kan dus ook.

[@erixlast6020]

How it shifts near red line?

[@GerhardNL]

Buttersmooth, the higher you rev the better it shifts!

[@jackroyce594]

what was the price of your annitori QS pro

[@GerhardNL]

I paid about $275 including a shift rod and shipping to The Netherlands. I checked their website and it looks like it's still the same. I found them good value at the time (dec 2016) compared to other offerings that were available.

[@patrickklein8053]

Final Settings, sensetivety and kill time?

[@GerhardNL]

I ended up keeping the settings shown in the video!

[@patrickklein8053]

okay

[@gixxie117]

sitting on the bike and shifting gears on the stand is dumb as f... if the stand drops see how that goes , i've seen this happen before and trust me u wont smile the same after that. anyways they put this garbage QS on all new gen bikes , when it fails as it will eventually start failing it will create other problems , go back to stock shifting trust me.
