It work great, 6000km from the time I installed it and still work fine. If you press the gear lever too soft from 1 to 2 gear you might have some false neutral, but from what I read in the web it happen also with the Honda original.

I can confirm this happens with the OEM quick shifter too.
Apparently, it happens even stock, there is a bearing brace that is supposed to help with it. (I just think its expensive)

The bearing you mentioned really help with the shifting, I installed one from Aliexpress before installing the quickshifter and difference was noticeable.
Here you have the link for the one like mine.

Got a similar one / priced bearing thingy on mine (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100....order_list.order_list_main.77.bab21802cVivWg).

One thing I can say for certain is, it did not make the shifting worse. And N has been easier to find after installation. Se guess if you have 10€/£ to spare, why not.

I had to 3D print a dust cover for the bearing thou, the one that came with this one was a joke.
