Healtech Quickshifter - Setup & Road Testing (PART TWO)

Healtech Quickshifter Easy setup and testing video. I'm sorry this video has taken so long for me to complete but I wanted to be sure I had completely setup this unit before giving my opinion.
Its a great unit with some excellent features, beware though can only be setup from an Android phone at the moment so dont buy one if you dont have a phone to adjust it on.

Fantastic instructions, camera work, editing and narrating. I hope Healtech look after you

[@markcalleja8463]

i just fitted the latest version to my 02 yamaha r1 fitted the sensor to the shift rod and healtech emailed me instructions to completly disable cut out when downshifting , fitted it and it worked very well straight away in its auto adaptive mode , then i switched to manual mode and adjusted some kill times to fine tune it , was pretty good in low rev ranges and 1st to 3nd gear was suprisingly good from 4 grand up

[@bengholbrook]

Hey lambchop! Great video, I've been looking at qs for a while and you've really helped. I could help but watch the video and think I recognize that road and then it clicked your on your way to Loomies!! I'm based in Portsmouth so I try to get up there every now and then so hopefully I'll bump into you with my own QS. Thanks again Ben

[@garrymactavish2964]

Great video... I fitted a HealTech Shifter to my ZX14r after watching this video, a great product that is really simple to install and fun to play with.....can't wait to go to the drags and get my times under 10secs

[@elihamou6902]

Garry MacTavish What kill times worked best?

[@leduaracosta1569]

Mate thanks so much for this video I have been looking for a video like this cos I want to fit a quickshifter on my CBR 1000rr 07 plate and I didn't have a clue about it but now thanks to you I can definitely go for it 👍🏽

[@alexspellman2057]

I ordered mine a week ago based on your bangin review, cant wait till the weather breaks to try it out, also track days should be awesome. Cheers

[@Healtech-electronics]

Thanks for the neat little reviews Sir! Keep it up and ride safe! BTW we love your bike! Well put together, real tasty! Cheers!

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks very much, loving the QS great bit of kit! Thank for the support with the new improved sensor also. Any other products which need a review don't be a stranger :)

[@henri2053]

Can you Shift Up and down With your QS?

[@seventysevencats]

The low rev shifting looks smoother than my clutchless shifting, makes me very interesting in this unit. And your bike looks fantastic, I'd love to see it on the road.

[@DrInsane76]

I bet you are an electrician!? ;-) Awesome work done to the Blade man and i love that display. Good vid with good info. :-) Gonna get my HT Easy at wednesday.

[@kopan14]

If you're not minding me asking, sir. What're your QS killtime settings? Is that gauge the Translogic? Where did you order that?

[@tomclifford7577]

Thanks Lamb Chop! Do you have a screen grab of your settings of the other screen? (minimum / maximum revs etc)

[@MiguelSilva-bz2sp]

hello mate great video thinking of getting 1 never used 1 but sounds sweet is it OK to still change gear with clutch as normal once healteck installed?

[@snowboarder1689]

I am also trying to find out the best configuration. I will try your cut-off timetable, do you have a cut-off delay set?

[@fattymcgee123]

thanks for the review. makes it easier for me to justify the future purchase, want to be able to keep up with some bikes that should be quicker, we'll see if this keeps it even. best part is there is no way i'm going to tell my buddies about it :D

[@steffydog]

Another cracking video, cheers, going to get one for my track 675

[@LambChopRides]

It's a great system, looking forward to getting out on the blade and using it again!

[@darsh1522]

Hey pls advice is this bike specific ?? Does it work or fit with my normal daytona 675 2015model ? If you can share the link where to buy from would highly appreciate ...thanks in advance

[@seay_biscuit]

I have a question that bracket going from your triple tree to your windscreen,what is that called? And where can I acquire one? Any help would be appreciated thank you so much have a great day, I love your videos by the way very informative...

[@rd6057]

Wich one is better the translogic is-4 or this cheaper (and easier also) healtech ?

[@whodis5152]

can u still blip the throttle on downshifts without the quickshirter interfering ?

[@MrPeteRR299]

Can you explain better what sensivity value i choose? You said half of the value?

[@roderickwijt]

Lovely bike mate!

[@cfvgd]

Wait what. It kills it on the way down as well? Wouldnt that mess up throttle blip?

[@Justgixxers]

With it not being track or road shift setting you said it kills the ignition in both directions so does that mean it pops on the downshift

[@Thebadger87]

I question? Would you recommend this quickshifter or would you recommend another brand?

[@warrenapostol2934]

Up shift and Down shift as well?

[@jpw4598]

Awesome bike dude.

[@Waleed.alhamidi]

Will it affect the gearbox in the long run?

[@636Youssef]

Clean review mate. Safe travels out there ;)

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Youssef same to you buddy

[@elrayox8932]

Thanks man! Been waiting for this. I'm looking to do a quick shifter on my Speed 3. Looks like the HM unit for me, as I'm an Apple user.

[@LambChopRides]

[@munkada47]

Hi Lamb ! First of all you did great video and sorry for mistake sentence because i’m from France 🇫🇷 ! I’ve a question about the QS ! I don’t understand this sensibility sensor, can u explain me please ? I own a Ninja 1000SX and i fear about the low rpm of break my gearbox because there would be a failure to damage the gearbox !! What do u think about this ? Thanks you for answer ! Ride safe from France 🇫🇷✌🏼

[@garyhigson260]

Hi buddy,,, just been thinking about getting one of these for my 14b R1... so found you whilst checking the reviews... then I noticed where you were.. Lovely Road the 31 so Ill get you a cuppa tea at Loomies, if I ever see you there. GReat review. .ga.

[@missydee6085]

Super piece of work again there LC. You've certainly confirmed my next purchase for my ZX6R! BTW, what rearsets have you used on The Beast? They look absolutely gorgeous & fit in beautifully with the whole aesthetic of your spesh 'Blade. Best wishes comin' atcha from along the coast ;-)

[@SandiSip]

Hi! Thanks for a great review. Just have one question. If you had to choose on of the 2 you have reviewed, the hm plus and the healtech, which one would you prefer? Which is better you think? Best regards

[@LambChopRides]

I sold my hm plus to buy the healtech Sandi and wouldn't go back, hope that answers your question :)

[@SandiSip]

Thanks

[@jordanhoyle577]

can you clutchless downshift with it too?

[@glendeco]

Thank you for sharing.

[@livewoutlimit]

Thanks again for the great write-up. Any updates on the 'directional' shift sensor? I'm afraid this thing kills ignition on my downshifts...!??

[@lillnemo1]

For future readers: there s a checkbox in the app to prevent ignition kill when rpm falls, so when going down the box...

[@folerx]

if you use clutch, qs again kill engine?

[@armarra]

I'm considering one of these. The HM Rod wouldn't fit on my bike as the strain gauge is too wide for the rod to frame clearance. Anyway I find this sensor very adaptable from one bike to the next. The control box seems nice and small. Do you ever use the quickshifter on the downshift...how does it perform ? Presumably one needs to quickly downshift into corners on a track right? The benefit for cable clutch systems is it saves your clutch cable. Yes these units are well priced. I subscribed. Great video. Easy to watch.. nothing obscure..all good.

[@daleycornish4015]

Interesting that Healtech now show the installation of the sensor ring along the push rod as opposed to between the bolt and the spindle as in the video. I wonder if re-positioning this might have given you cleaner shifts at lower rpm's? Any thoughts?

[@LambChopRides]

+Daley Cornish yes they have and does improve it, also a newer model out now which has a wizard setup to make things easier. Doing a review of the new model shortly 😉

[@brandonbdl]

Have you used the auto blip for downshifting?

[@ThePuoshi]

Man this bike is a beauty!!!!

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks mate

[@chrisgray118]

Are you using any cutoff delay?

[@Merino549]

does the healtech do downshifts as wel?

[@pajomad1]

great review lamb,very informative .I purchased an annotori in oct of last year thinking I was getting ahead of the game with its nfc capability but this really qs really has blown it and previous hm's ive had out of the water.i don't really use it under 7-8k and it has to be accelerating hard for a nice crisp shift after that,my question is what kind of kill times do the bmw hav to make low rev/half load shifts smooth? anyway ,appreciate the work and the vids your fast approaching the status of thee Honda guru.

[@LambChopRides]

pajomad1 Thanks Pajo, not sure on the BMW kill times, rewatching this I think perhaps ive been harsh on the lower shifting performance.. Perhaps I just need to play a little more and increase the timing. But end of the day I just dont use it lower down the range so other may have it setup better than me and have it working perfect :)

[@8LastKing8]

hi mate! clearing my doubt.. im just wondering if there's any side effects or cons using qs.

[@LambChopRides]

+Mister Aizack no not if its setup correctly Mister, if it's not then yes there is potential to damage the gearbox.

[@bradfitfastuk4273]

thank you mate really appreciate it. one last question what would be better out of this or the HM GP light q s

[@LambChopRides]

+BRAD FITFASTUK personally if you want something smoother at all rev ranges check out the Translogic Intellishift quick shifter. Bit more expensive but amazing bit of kit. Plus they do a downshift blipper for ride by wire yam models.. would be my choice, have a review on my channel take a look

[@bradfitfastuk4273]

Lamb Chop Rides sex with a cold stress to you how much I appreciate it your advice I'm going to have a look at the videos now this subscribed on for local people also what a beautiful day and I'm not just saying that fucking amazing, safe riding bro

[@TheLucas2696]

How does the ignition cutting on downshifts effect rev-matching/blipping for your downshifts?

[@RobinBalentina]

Rev matching is harder, you need to adjust the timing. When I try to rev match de healtech cuts the power so cant rev match. Now you just need to try to throttle blip a little bit earlier, and than use your food to downshift

[@Sinkerbist]

Hi Lambchop, regarding what you said about the sensor cutting in when you hit the gear lever accidentally... does this mean it will hinder your ability to rev match coming down the box?

[@LambChopRides]

No it doesn't as there is an option to disable who revs are dropping. I always rev match with no problems

[@Sinkerbist]

+Lamb Chop Rides Thanks mate! that's pretty much confirmed my decision to get one! cheers

[@livelifetothefullest8892]

Just bought one of these for my mt07 and am from Basingstoke!!

[@Wolfsburg639]

In reference to your one gripe there about the bi-directional ignition kill, wasn't the option in the settings to "disable cutoff when RPM falling" used to remedy that exact symptom?

[@LambChopRides]

Yes it does but if the revs are not falling doesn't help, if you knock it while adjusting your feet while accelerating or steady riding you experience the cut. The new sensor is suppose to sort it but it tested it yet as broke my ankle haha

[@Wolfsburg639]

+Lamb Chop Rides I see. Speedy recovery!

[@lillnemo1]

@@LambChopRides i think QS are supposed to be used on the track, and then you probs have reversed the shiftpattern. Then you prob wont have the problem??

[@barz91]

Hi mate you make some very clear and easy to understand content! I have a few questions: - Did HealTeach ever get back to you in regards to the email you sent them ? (accidentally knocking in wrong direction which kills ignition) - Ive heard some people saying something called a blipper allows you to shift down if you without the use of the clutch, Is this true? - I have a GSXR1000 woud this be the best value and quality for money over the competitors? - I also need to dyno my bike and am not sure if a power commander will interfere or not be compatible with this product. do you have any advice in regards to that also? I have Subscribed to your channel, your feedback is appreciated :)

[@321marshmello]

hey lambchop.. I just got the new sensor sent to me from healtech.. the old one seemed to be trouble some.. its been raining non stop here and i havent had a chance to take it out yet. how do you like the new and improved sensor? they also sent me a new module.

[@LambChopRides]

I've fitted it Michael but not tested it yet, needed a shorter shift rod due to the change of location to the shift rod. Mine was already borderline to long. Hoping to try it soon though! Let me know how you found it?

[@Beaver314]

10:22 what you're saying here worries me. Does that mean that you can't do rev match downshifting? because it'd be hard to blip the throttle when you're shifting down and it kills the ignition?

[@vgama]

No it doesn't as there is an option to disable who revs are dropping. I always rev match with no problems

[@bikefever3569]

How much did you sell this for in the end ?

[@homersimpson2963]

Hey man, cool bike. I just ordered one of these quick shifters for my MT-07. Do I need to get a power commander also?

[@LambChopRides]

Foxy Moto Hi Foxy, nope you dont need a power commander the shifter works completely as stand alone unit.

[@homersimpson2963]

Lamb Chop Rides Thats excellent! Saves me time and money, fantastic, thanks. :-)

[@sowrkid28]

is this quick-shifter up and down ?

[@ChrisMcEvoy72]

Nice vid & review. Not sure it appeals to me as a road only rider - I've got other things in mind for my money, but the ability to change settings and update the firmware by your phone makes the geek in me tingle. Cool!

[@LambChopRides]

Chris McEvoy lol, yeah it does tick the geek box Chris that's for sure :) Healtech have sent me the latest sensor they have changed the design and now recommend you mount inline on the shift shaft to eliminate false shifts. Just need to fit it now!

[@ChrisMcEvoy72]

Lamb Chop Rides Inline on the shift shaft? So like the HM QS then?

[@LambChopRides]

Just at the top of the rod Chris so bit diffrent to HM, no new rod is a bonus though!

I've got an 1998 FI Srad and... in your newer video about the Translogic Intellishift you rave about how good it is and it prob is. But as you stated, those are BIKE SPECIFIC and there's not that big a range of bikes supported to be honest, so... After doing a lot reading and such, I guess that "overall", the Healtech QS is the best QS for the money for most riders...

did you need a speedo healer for the quick shifter install

[@FIREFIREBLADE]

Is there a way to go up and down using this qs? Good vids!

[@LambChopRides]

You need a blipper to do downshifts, depending on your bike some aftermarket versions are available but no the simple answer is no hehe. It has setting to support a blipper if you had one

[@FIREFIREBLADE]

+Lamb Chop Rides ok mate, thankyou very much for the reply.

[@fazer12779]

You can do clutchless throttle quick shifts on any bike, you just load the gear selector then quickly blip the throttle & it’ll change gear immediately. Your thoughts?

[@LambChopRides]

Yes agreed it will but you have to close the throttle, the point of a QS is you can leave the throttle pinned open and shift.

[@ientwistle1]

I fitted one to my CBR600 and found it annoying Knocking the shifter by accident and killing the revs so I fitted a micro switch which I think is better , I can now do either a clutch change or quick shift at any RPM and not have the unit operated unwantedly .I'm going to fit a rear brake light switch just so it's waterproof and has some fine adjustment to it . Great units though

[@LambChopRides]

hondabiker1960 Yeah very annoying that isnt it.. Will update the comments with what Healtech say regarding adding a shift direction option in the app if they reply..

[@homersimpson2963]

hondabiker1960 Ya me too. I'm a little disappointed with the QS easy that I got for my MT-07. Mabey I'm doing something wrong? Do you have to close the throttle a little or can you just hold it open fully?

[@ientwistle1]

[@321marshmello]

I had the same problem when down shifting and killing ignition so all I did was go into the application and raise my first kill time to 6000 rpms. )07 cbr 1000 doesn't see those high rpms unless im really on it, out on country roads or the track.

[@LambChopRides]

Healtech have an improved sensor which detects directional movement better when fitted on the top of the shift shaft. They have very kindly sent me one to test. Will keep you posted how it works!

[@lillnemo1]

You guys forgot about the checkbox in the app to prevent ignition kill when rpm falls???

[@selltheplanetearth]

Do you use any fuel management like power commander?

[@LambChopRides]

Garage Dweller Yes I have a powercommander 3 Garage

[@selltheplanetearth]

Just wondering did you plug the PC and then the QS into the injector loom. Just wondering if they would interfere with each other. Love your fireblade BTW.

[@321marshmello]

Garage Dweller The power commander and quick shifter are two complexly stand alone units. Quick shifter piggybacks the coils, and power commander piggybacks the lower 4 injectors.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes Garage as said above standalone units, cuts the spark not the fuel its a much better way of doing it cleaner cut then on the injectors.

[@selltheplanetearth]

Got it. Thanks both.

They should just bring out the CBR with a DCT option. My bike has DCT and i wont go back to a normal gearbox ever again. DCT is just brilliant. No need for a quickshifter bang it into manual and you just flick a button to up shift and down shift in mili seconds. If you lazy like me just flip it into Sport mode and it does the down shifts for you and is aggressive with the up shifts.

[@lillnemo1]

Sorry, but that sounds lame to me....
