DriverDave Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 There are no "package deals" here...it's all individual Honda accessories. I know because I already bought and installed the handlebar riser blocks, quickshifter, rear hugger, and saddlebags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriverDave Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Yes, I have the Deluxe, but I don't really consider that a package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHvar Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Sorry, so I guess they dont have any add-on packages here. When I bought my bike there were no options but standard and deluxe to add, no add-ons period. In fact they were just getting add-on prices later on when I was getting oil change number 2 on my bike.

CandyRedRC46 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I wonder what the exact shift cut times are and if they are gear/rpm/throttle dependent ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emil Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I've seen the engine reving far into the red (false neutral) in 2 different video reviews of the RC79 now. Did this happen to anyone here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatstorage Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I've had no problems with shifting, either rolling off throttle without clutch or pinning it and using the quickshifter, very predictable operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer TomG33 Posted December 20, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ok, Now I will show you all, my ignorance. I roughly what a Quick Shifter is, But how do you use it and what does it buy you ? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer windyrun Posted December 20, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted December 20, 2014 This is a link to an article by "ride apart" internet magazine on quick shifters.

DriverDave Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Automatic gear shifter , you just push a button . That is incorrect. It is a normal foot shifter with a pressure switch inside that is wired to the bike's ECU. When you apply pressure with your foot to shift (just like you would with a regular shifter) it cuts power to the engine for a brief moment to take the pressure off the gears in the transmission so it can shift. This allows you to upshift at full throttle, without using the clutch. You can also ride it like just like a regular bike, using the clutch like normal. If you had perfect, instantaneous throttle control with your right hand, you could do the same thing without a quick shifter...it would require cutting the throttle just enough to coast, but not so much that you decelerate, but only doing that for less than a 1/2 second!

Allyance Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Had my 2014 Deluxe a couple of weeks now, after owning a 2003 6th gen. I bought it slightly used from my local dealer with the saddle bags and the quick shifter option installed. The QS is awesome, I am not an overly aggressive ride, but at 70 do like to scoot along to the best of my ability and find the QS makes riding that much more enjoyable. Also easier on the arthritis in my left thumb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Switchblade Posted December 28, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted December 28, 2014 Automatic gear shifter , you just push a button . Maybe I should have wrote semi-automatic ? What does the power difference fill like between the 03 and the 14 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allyance Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 14 is better all the way around, I should hope so after spend the $, the power is there, I can't say it is significantly more, just better. The QS is great in the twists, being so quick, and less to do with the hands. It's not automatic, because it requires the same human input to shift, just one less operation (pulling in clutch) to coordinate. My hat is off to the younger riders that can race and ride well, that is not me, but I think I do better than most. When I was at the dealer the other day, a guy came in on Panigale and had obviously been to the track. His tires were all roughed up with melted rubber right out to the very edges. Very gutsy with a $30k bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even call it semi-automatic. You're still shifting with your foot. It just allows you to do it without clutching or letting off the throttle. But you can still do both if you want. You could get on it, without knowing it had a quickshifter, and ride it all day, just like you're own bike, without ever realizing it had one.

timm Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Btw. The guy who thought the plastic clip at point 23 in the install guide was a good idea ... were wrong. I used my whole supply of foul words before I threw it away and used a zip-tie instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockdog32 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I just installed this as well. It was pretty easy except that step at 23. I didn't bother and used the clip higher. Which way do you turn the rod to adjust the weight needed though? The manual doesn't say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulled the vent hose out of the lower clip, looked at the space and routing they recommended and then said F it. Just stupid. I actually used the plastic clip up higher...on the clutch line. Routed it a bit different too, to keep it extra safe from all the hot bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
