I would be so mad if that where to happen to me, the salesmen in the dealership told me it could be months and made sure i knew that so there's no hard fillings if that does happen, it was 3 weeks from the time i order the bike to the phone call that the part is ready the salesman was more surprised then me that it was so fast, congratulations enjoy.

Long wait but I hope you enjoy the quickshifter!

I noticed about two weeks ago that WeBike in Japan said they were available, and a quote request confirmed they were getting stock. I order and had it arrive in Australia within a week via FedEx. I installed over the weekend and wow! It works great! Even at low load it shifts reasonably smooth, only on a few occasions so far that I've felt like the power cut was a bit too long and made for a jerky shift so I still have to learn what the best conditions are (RPM, Load, shift leaver pressure) for a smooth shifts, but for sure full power shifts are perfect. My bike is an A2/LAMS power restricted bike, but I wanted to get this installed before getting a derestrict tune.

Here's a short vid:

I knew it was on backorder and could be a while before delivery, just didn't expect a 9 month wait.
My dealer has been great to be honest, keeping me up to date and chasing Honda UK. I think it was just Honda UK not being overly forthcoming with information.
At least Honda UK paid for my 600 mile service as a gesture of good will.

For those still waiting in durance vile, I can provide Shifting ContRoll QS kits (mentioned by Peterzm) in 3-4 weeks. US$155 for the kit, $15 for the postman.

And we AREN'T closed down by Covid!

Do they need "activating" in any way or is its simply plug into the connection under the tank and ready to go?

Not sure if it would need to be activated by Honda?

According to the instructions from both Honda and Shifting ContRoll, it's a simple matter of plug in and go. No mention of activation anywhere.


Edit: Ninja'd by Peterzm!

And after waiting 9 months for delivery, finally had it fitted today.

Was the wait worth it, Hell Yes it was.

Never had a quickshifter before, all i can say is big smiles and seamless shifting. Even at lower revs around town which was a surprise after reading some comments.
