Haven't done it myself but makes sense that you have to activate it imho.
Have you contacted Honda directly?

Just curious, l bought my CB650R in Dec 2019 and was told the quickshifter would be fitted when l collect it, you guess it wasn t fitted. They told me they were out of stock and would fit it at the first service, l did some research and see theres a problem with the supply of quick shifters. Its almost July and after chasing Honda UK and the dealer l've still not had it fitted ! Looking like l'll be wanting a refund for a part not fitted if this goes on much longer, really poor service from someone like Honda. Can anyone help or tell me more than l know? Thanks .. MikeOut of curiosity how long have you been waiting. My sports pack is also on back order

Best we’ve been able to figure are a few things happened:Can anyone help or tell me more than l know? Thanks .. Mike
Many thanks for the replies, l heard it was a quality issue, first the QS's were made in Italy but following issues the dealer told me manufacture was moved to Spain?Best we’ve been able to figure are a few things happened:
1. Supply far outpaced demand.
2. There were issues with the first ones released, so an updated one needed to be done. Whether a design flaw or supplier mishap is unclear but Honda didn’t release them again until they worked.
3.They are now available in certain areas.
Hate to say it but its a gamble on a new model/new design. Seems like they are shipping again now so that should help, lots are saying they got their recently.

Seems theres lots of stories going around as to why they are still to be fitted to customers bikes, as l say l bought my bike in Dec 2019, chased Honda UK, chased the dealer and still have yet to have it fitted.
Some guys who have them fitted say how good they are while others aren t too happy with them so maybe there was a quality issue with them prompting Honda to move manufacture?
If l get an updates QS then l'm happy to wait a little longer rather than have paid over £300 for the option and it work c**p, but saying that l'm getting close to the point of contacting my dealer to ask for a refund for a part l've not received after an unacceptably long wait :-(
I definitely feel your frustration, having paid for something to not have it is a pain in the butt.When is enough enough, what can one do when the QS paid for and 8 months later still waiting? As l say like many my patience is running thin, maybe a trip to the dealer soon to have words and enquire about a refund. Another month or so and thats me done with it Covid 19 or no Covid 19 this issue has been going on since the middle of 2019 !
Fingers crossed you get yours working and its not one of these rogue QS 's that has caused this ongoing issue. Regards calling in person on my dealer? yes all l can do since Hond UK weeks later still haven t replied to my last e mail ;-( From my experience so far with the Manchester based dealer l cant say they've been very helpful, long story so l'll not ramble on but will update as and when ...I definitely feel your frustration, having paid for something to not have it is a pain in the butt.
If you have a chance to stop at the dealer to have a chat, go ahead since it's way better to talk with someone than over the phone or emails.
Most likely they'll take in consideration a refund since you have been waiting for way too long.
I found a dealer that is going to run diag check on my ECU Friday the 10th, I really hope is just matter of re initialize it or enable it.
Keep you posted and good luck.
Take a deep breath before going there 😅
*nods* Most QS require a fairly positive prod of the shifter, to the point that a misadjusted shift lever can reduce the effectiveness, or even cause false neutrals.I think I was being pretty lazy on the shift.
