R Nine T Translogic quickshifter installation.

Instructional video on how to install a fabulous Translogic quickshifter on your R Nine T. An absolute must if you're blasting your bike around a track, this quickshifter is totally plug and play.
*Quick update - best to remove the upper shift lever off the spline and rotate it clockwise a few teeth to give a bit better clearance of the quickshifter unit to the swingarm. Gives you more thread to secure the unit to the lower part of the linkage.

Great video 👌 I have a healtech quick shifter atm but think you have sold me on the advantages of translogic keep the ninet content coming great stuff.

[@thatrninetguy]

Thanks, James. Have a look at my video flogging around the track. You'll see how clean the shifts are.

[@ArranD1]

Awesome video, really clear and really easy to follow, props to the camera work actually showing what you're doing

[@thatrninetguy]

Thanks for the kind comment, Arran. For such a popular bike, there are many "how to" videos, are there?

[@ArranD1]

@@thatrninetguy there isn't, im hopefully looking to get one in the near future so starting my research now, but there's a definite lack of how to's, been through all yours and they're all great found a little gold mine here 😎

[@thatrninetguy]

@@ArranD1 Mate, you won't regret buying one of these bikes. Very easy to work on and customise. Not the fastest bike on the track but it's pokey enough on the street. Comfortable tourer too if that's want you want to do. Daily commuter? No sweat. This bike ticks all boxes if you ask me.

[@ArranD1]

@@thatrninetguy I've got a test ride lined up for next week, currently have a Street 675r, so spec wise they are fairly similar but there's just something missing from the street, it's too good if that makes sense? I love just riding about going down back roads and seeing where I end up and the odd blast here and there, the more I'm looking at the R9 the more its making me want one

[@neelnand5574]

Emailed the trans logic team, no with mine for this the 2021 comes with fly by wire was looking for updown quick shift. I have it on my other bike - now feels weird riding the BMW without it. Nice work on the install love the video.

[@thatrninetguy]

Let's hope they make one for the new R Nine T models!

Keep up the great videos mate! Aussie legend!

Thanks, Sean! I'll keep trying, mate.

Disconnect the battery *negative* first!! Then when you accidentally contact the chassis while undoing the positive your spanner doesn’t melt!

Anything Fred Gassit says, I do! Full disclosure here, most of my vids are filmed at night. Dan Murphys is a few hundred metres away, so that might answer a few questions.

[@KostantinosKarampelas]

Thanks vid came in handy 👍👍

Good to hear, mate.

[@andyor3114]

Hello, I have same 2015 R9t classic. Can you please tell me part # for this quick shifter? On the site only for R1200S.

[@TOMAHAWKAERIALVIDEOGRAPHY]

Just fitted mine however I'm getting PWR 1, PWR 2 and RPM LED's but the sensor LED isn't lighting on a shift unless I give it alot more pressure by which point it's already changed gear. Checked all the rods and they are tight. Sensor just seems to need alot more pressure. The manual says that this is normal on a stationery bike. I've tested on the road once but I'm a little worried as I don't know if the sensor is doing its job.

[@thatrninetguy]

Hi, Steven. Mmm... sounds like it needs a bit of fine tuning. The aftersales service at Translogic is second to none. Go here www.translogicuk.com/contact.php and shoot them an enquiry.

[@xpllmmff]

Hi thanks for this video. I guess a SSB battery in the bike implies this bike is running on Australia roads. If so, could you advice how much from OZ local dealer or is it purchased from translogic UK head office. Thank you

[@thatrninetguy]

Hi, mate. I got mine from Race Bike Services in South Australia. Give them a call on [phone] and they'll look after you.

[@Veldrade]

Hello, the video was really informative, though I was wondering, don't you have to set the amount of time the shifter cuts the ignition ? That's my main concern on installing a shifter, I'm not sure if I'll be able to set it up properly. Also, why do you plug the shifter on the injectors ? Isn't it supposed to be plugged on the coils ?

[@thatrninetguy]

Hi. Everything is pre-set by Translogic in the factory so I didn't need to touch the timing at all. However, if you are concerned about the timing on your bike, the manual is very clear on how to make adjustments which is just a turn of a screw on the back of the unit. Why did I plug the shifter on the injectors? Because that's what you need to do! At least that's the setup for the R Nine T. Other bikes will differ no doubt. Finally, if you have questions, the support from Translogic is fantastic - they're a very nice bunch of people to deal with. All the best and safe riding.

[@Veldrade]

@@thatrninetguy thanks for the detailed answer here, it reassures me a lot ! I was wondering about the injectors because usually a shifter cuts off ignition, not fuel injection, but I guess it's not possible on all bikes

[@sidmaderazo]

Hi very informative! Will it work with the latest R nineT with Ride by wire?

[@thatrninetguy]

I'm afraid not, Sid. This one's just for upshift only. But stand by; I've contacted Translogic and asked if they're producing a unit for the ride by wire R Nine T's. I'll let you know.

[@sidmaderazo]

@@thatrninetguy I appreciate the response! Thank you so much!

[@TheDinmor6]

This made me buy one for my 21 roadster! Are you still satisfied with it? Any issues?

[@thatrninetguy]

No issues at all, mate. And yes, very satisfied. 👍

[@bmw330cim54]

Hi, great video. Can you do downshift as well? Because from your box its said blip assist, thanks

[@thatrninetguy]

Thanks, mate. The box lies - haha. Only clutchless upshifts for the R Nine T's. You need a throttle by wire bike to get clutchless downshifts.

[@bmw330cim54]

Thanks mate for the quick reply, for me the clutchless downshift is more important to help with engine brake when we speed up 🤪

[@thatrninetguy]

@@bmw330cim54 I'm hearin' ya, Clefton. But I'll take any advantage I can get!

[@Streetzaholic]

Hey buddy what do you mean by you will need a throttle by wire bike ?? I just installed this same setup and I can’t clutchless downshift ?? Not sure why .. any help ??

[@kowalski2334]

12:46 correct me if im wrong but you do have a pull motion and not a push motion when shifting upwards, no?

[@thatrninetguy]

She's definitely a push, mate.

[@kowalski2334]

@@thatrninetguy you are absolutely correct, I had the shift connection rods wrong in my mind

[@fbh7423]

Is there a product that can do up shift and dwon shift ?

[@thatrninetguy]

Unfortunately, no there isn't. The bike would need to have a "throttle by wire" system for down shifts.

[@mattiasfransson8637]

I found several of your videos really helpful. Easy to follow with all the information one could need. I noticed on your track video that you had a problem with the bike not starting that was claimed by BMW(?) to be the quickshifter. I'm a little worried, since I plan to put the Translogic Quickshifter on my bike as well. Was there ever a solution to the problem? Are you still using the quickshifter with no new problems?

[@thatrninetguy]

Hi, Martias. I should have a new video up today discussing the issue. The problem was where I mounted the ECU. The harmonics of the big twin motor upset the ECU. Translogic were awesome and sent me out a new one and I mounted on the ledge under the rear of the tank. It works perfectly without any issues. Get one, mate - you won't regret it.

[@mattiasfransson8637]

@@thatrninetguy Thanks! The new video also showed the updated sensor mounting which was a great confirmation as well.

[@mattiasfransson8637]

@@thatrninetguy Ok, 2 years later and I've still not mounted it.. This season (starting now in Sweden) should be the one though. A follow up question if you may, Have you had any additional issues with it in the past 2 years? Since the original QS unit was damaged by the harmonics/vibrations (my guess is IMU failure) I'd like to take in your experience of now "long term reliability testing" of the new placement and QS solution as a whole. Still status quo or something to add on the topic?

[@thatrninetguy]

@@mattiasfransson8637 Hi, Mattias. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. Re. the vibration issue, that wasn't actually the problem. It was just a problem with the electronics. The team at Translogic sent me out another unit and it has been perfect. Give it a go, mate. You'll love it!

[@mattiasfransson8637]

@@thatrninetguy Thanks for your quick reply and I'm happy it's a reassuring one. Ok, so what you're saying is that your part2 is correct with regards to customer service, but not to root cause due to vibration and that after Translogic did additional analysis they determined that there was a electrical failure of the part not from harmonics/vibrations? I will anyway mount it as you did in part2 just in case. Still it would be good to know.

[@Aruizmac]

Hello, is good for 2021 models?

[@thatrninetguy]

Hello, Andrés. The Translogic website shows there is a model for the 2021 R Nine T. It's product code is TLS-QSXi-X-DCSB-0

[@StandardDeviation7]

Is it for Up and Down shifting or just Down?

[@thatrninetguy]

Only up, mate.

[@dickquist9483]

Did you have to adjust the parameters or is it great out of the box? Also is shifting from 1 to 2 smooth and possible?

[@thatrninetguy]

Perfect out of the box, mate. Yeah, 1st gear is so low on these bikes that I use the clutch going to 2nd. It can be a big jolt otherwise. But after that she goes through the box like a champ.

[@dickquist9483]

Thanks for your reply, got mine in yesterday its for my k6 gsxr 750 can't wait to install it!!

[@dickquist9483]

Hi mate, I installed mine but the lever feels extremely hard while shifting!

[@thatrninetguy]

@@dickquist9483 Hi, Dick. If you take the electronics aspect out of the equation, the linkage will operate just the same as stock. To get the unit to interrupt the signal to allow you upshot without the clutch can take a bit more force. At least that's what I found. Possibly a tweak to the sensitivity of the unit may help? Mine was great out of the box and I'm so used to it, it's bloody awesome - especially around the track! If you have concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to Translogic. They're a great mob to deal with.

[@dickquist9483]

Hi mate, I played with the sensitivity a bit the last few days and I have it perfect to my liking. Pfoe I like the shifter it is so smooth!! I didn't have to do anything just turn the sensititvy Lower 3 points and now it is awesome!!!! Love it

[@ogu06u80]

Any better than healtech ?

[@thatrninetguy]

Hi, Albert. Apparently they are. I've never personally tested a Healtech but Lamb Chop Rides has tested several different quickshifters on the same bike and he said the Translogic was so much better than the others. That's what sold me. Much better at low revs was one thing he said.

[@ogu06u80]

@@thatrninetguy i use healtech 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gear a bit rough but i haven't professionally adjust the quickshifter, it's all under auto program. How's yours doing, all gear smooth ?
