I own two R7, one blue and the other black. I had quick shifters install on both bikes at the dealer, an couldn't get them to work. Thanks for showing the last step at the end, holding the shifter up for 10 secs. The QS symbol now shows on my display, seems that the shop missed a step. Great Video!!!
@@alexv5581 Man I tried responding to your comment twice before, but RUclips deleted it, maybe having more than one R7 violates their policy. 😂 But seriously, in response to your comment. I actually now have all three, the 60TH Anniversary I picked up this week. I gave the blue to my son for his 21st birthday, and the black I'm giving to my brother who just got out of the Army. As for the 60TH, well that one I'm keeping for me.
@@bronsonsohan7045 oh I see , that's really nice of you to give those bikes to your family members. The 60th edition of R family is drop dead gorgeous 👍 Can't imagine how it looks in person.
"If you're not gett'n it, don't use it..." Makes sense... I'd have thought the quick shifter was only for when you wanna get on it. It makes no sense to use it when you're puttering around town doing the groceries... :D Nice vid as usual mate!
Gosh man, I expected you to have a lot more subscribers. Great content as always. Keep it up and I’m sure you will eventually reach that 1 million mark.
I know I’m late on this but I just installed this quick shifter on my 23’ R7 and I followed your video. You made the install super easy and quick so thank you for this 🙌🏼 I love the QS it makes the bike so fun when you’re rippin it!
Personally i think quickshifters are fine mechanically, but for new riders, they are a terrible habit to start relying on. You wont learn how to properly operate your bike if you have a device doing it for you. It’s a matter of principle for me. It’s the same reason people get compliant, lax, and forgetful when they start learning to ride with abs, and then switch to a bike that doesn’t have it.
Make 100% sure your using the correct sized hex key, no ball head and push in and you turn. You could also try and head up the bolt, or spray some pb blaster on the tread side and let it sit for a while
Nice , Dano's performance offers his quick shifter (plugs into oem harness) and a reflash for $350.00. I'am sure reflash be alot cheaper. He really does a good job.
i installed mine to but it feels it jerks on low speed especially , is that normal? and does the cm have to be precise? if it was a 1 cm shorter whould that effect it ? thank you
It is very clunky at low speed, as for adjustment yes you can move it around a little. The best way to set it up is at 90* s at each pivot point, hope this helps
You seemed impressed with the proformance with the throttle up and not with the Rev range. Cool ! I just got my quick shift for my R-7 . Looking forward to the install. Thanks for your instruction on the qs . I appreciate it . Ride safe . Phil
Hey, thanks for the video, So I've ordered my R7 and asked my dealer to install the quick shifter to it... however I'm not quite sure how to use it. Do I need to engage it and have the QS symbol show up on the dash everytime I want to use it? And do I need to disengage it after I'm done? Or is that QS symbol on the dash permanent? Thanks
Congrats on the new bike, once it’s installed the mechanic should have enabled it. You can tell by the QS on the dashboard if he did. Once the QS is enabled you don’t need to ever turn it on or off it should remain on forever. I thing changes for how the bike rides, you can still use the clutch like normal or don’t use the clutch if you want to quick shift
Hey mate, are those techspec tank grip specific to the r7, or did you get them from a different model and had it cut ? Cause I can't find the r7 ones online . Thanks
They are for the R7, looks like motovation has them in stock www.motovationusa.com/snake-skin-tank-grip-pads-by-techspec-yamaha-r7-62-4026-SS?mmyId=174123&mmy=Yamaha-YZF-R7-2022&gclid=CjwKCAiAl-6PBhBCEiwAc2GOVE4Okqa-EPrSanwumro6wfW3Oa_cRBE-SGRVX-DuJJmRA_JTdIM0aRoCZDMQAvD_BwE
Hey man just installed the quick shifter thanks a lot for your help! I got a question for you though, do you know what size those little nylon push rivets that hold some plastics are? I want to order some more as they seem to be fairly fragile. Thanks again
right on, glad it worked out. I ordered this kit amzn.to/3sb7rbN but only the small ones fit, im outa town right now but when I get back I can see what size they are if you don't want a big kit. I work on lots of vehicles so I don't mind having the extras
New Subscriber form the Philippines🇵🇭. Love your Videos Sir. It inspires me to finish my studies so maybe in the future I could own an R7 just like you did and do everything Ro it. Looking forward for your futre videos👍😁
What’s up bro, I don’t know yet. I’m thinking of getting a review out next, there still not a lot to chose for the R7 yet, but I’m leaning towards some levers and an intake
@@ScoutsOut Aloha, sweet yeah those mods for sure do they make rear sets yet? What’s the battery, a acid filled 10 lbs or a light weight new type what are they now lithium? 10 years ago we would change the battery and drop like 10 lbs weight or something crazy like that just changing the battery but they were expensive. 🤙🏼
For whatever reason, my QS light won’t come on. I’ve tried downshifting to first and to Nuetral, didn’t work, I timed how long I held it in the up position in 2nd gear and hit it exactly at 10 seconds and also above 10s and downshifted and nothings working 😢
Hahaha yes, and scratch my comment, I got off the bike and used my hand to shift for better sensitivity and it seems I was not holding the shift lever high enough with enough force. So now my QS light is on. Lol
Seems I’ve broken my bike though, took it out for a test ride, worked pretty good, hit neutral once or twice bike accident but only thing that happened was the rpm’s climbed, but now as I was riding home the bike won’t shift down, it’s stuck in 5th and if I try to shift down even with the clutch pulled it’s like it’s bottomed out 🤯🫣
Did anyone have and issue after installing the quick shifter, with the Abs light turning on and off once riding ? It started happening after my quick shifter install
@@ScoutsOut only comes on when I turn the bike on. Didn’t do it before so I got concerned. Turns right off once it starts rolling. So if that’s normal then I guess there is no need to worry! Thanks for letting me know that info.
@@anthonysousa8470 no need to worry that is very normal and a good thing its like the check engine light turning on when you first turn on your car. it's the system checking to make sure things are working
So once you install the quick shifter can you still normally shift the bike is there a switch or something you toggle to in order to engage the quick shifter ?
Yes nothing changes really other than you don’t need to use the clutch but you can use the bike normally too with the clutch and just forget it’s installed if you want
Getting my r7 in 30 days. Coming from r3. I never touched suspension on bike but want it adjusted to me. Is this extra mod or can I tell the dealer when they build it
Sorta, the r7 is drive by actual wire which requires a mechanism to move the throttle body. It’s really expensive but you can turn it into a drive by wire system for about $2500 which I don’t think is worth it, hope this answers your question
Short shifting is generally a term that describes shifting in quick succession at low RPM before reaching max power. Even Google agrees lol. In 11 years of riding I’ve never heard clutchless shifting described as short shifting; everybody I’ve know has always called it clutchless shifting or power shifting.

thank you Yamaha for not making us go to a dealer and pay to have the software enabled
I know right! I’m pretty much over all the euro bikes for that bs
"If you're not gett'n it, don't use it..."
Makes sense... I'd have thought the quick shifter was only for when you wanna get on it. It makes no sense to use it when you're puttering around town doing the groceries... :D
Nice vid as usual mate!
Haha yup, thanks bro
Great job! Looks like a lot of fun bro. Glad you’re enjoying the bike. Once the cold stops here in Ohio I’ll be right back on my R7! Thanks!
Hell yea man I’m loving it, hopefully the snows chills out for a ride or two soon
hello what should i do if i brake the nut that is attached to quickshifter???
Ohh damn, hit me up on ig and send me a pic and I’ll try and help ya out
This bike is practically the same speed as my ninja 400 but I want it so bad
The torque down low will be a huge upgrade from the n400 top speed is another issue

Up only
Amazing tutorial. Legit easiest to understand.
Thanks bro, glad it was helpful

Good point and you miss out on learning how to clutches up/downshift as well. Solid things to be good at espy when they fail
Yeah I agree abt the throttle vs rev it’s a quick shifter so use it when your going quick it’s works as intended
Any tips on removing the hex bolt @3:24? Mine is on there tightly.
Make 100% sure your using the correct sized hex key, no ball head and push in and you turn. You could also try and head up the bolt, or spray some pb blaster on the tread side and let it sit for a while

Today have installed on my R7.
Works nicely!
Thank you for your video which helped me a lot!
Nice dude, glad it helped 🍻
Do you know if this will plug and play into fz07 / mt07 ?
Sry man I’m not sure, I’m seeing different part numbers for them
so high rpm, you don't have to let go of the gas or pull the clutch handle to shift? only feetwork?
Yes exactly
So basically it removes the need to pull in the clutch. Just hold down the throttle and shift when your ready. Correct?
Sorta, if you are at slower speeds you still need to use the clutch. And it's up shifts only not down
Hey, thanks for the video,

Hello, does the QS from Yamaha works with reverse shifting (GP) as well?
Man I really thought you could, everything I’ve been reading says it’s a push only sensor so it cannot be flipped for GP shift

Thx Byron, yea I’m sure she’s stackin um up lol
Hey man long time viewer!! Since purchasing actually, I’m installing an oem one at the moment. But my qs light is showing up as per instructions oops
If your not getting the QS light to turn on just keep trying, it took me 3 or 4 tries to get it on
@@ScoutsOut found out actually sitting on it works haha
Haha nice!
Up and down or only up shift?
Its up only, i keep looking for both but i haven't found one yet
I just installed this I got QS symbol on my dash. But when I put in the first gear the bike dies. What am I doing wrong?
Was the kickstand down, or maybe the wires for the kickstand get pinched?
@@ScoutsOutthanks for quick reply brother. Hahaha stupid me didn't think about the kickstand 😅
Glad it was just that 🍻
Is the installation the same if you use gp shift ?
No slightly different and I don’t think the GYTR does GP shift
Will this quickshifter work with gp shifting?
I haven't tried but it looks to me like it doesn't and you would need a flashed tuned one from FTECU.
Thanks for this interesting information video, best regards from germany.
Glad it was useful, Prost!!
Dialed, sounded smooth. Whats next on the mods? 🤙
What’s up bro, I don’t know yet. I’m thinking of getting a review out next, there still not a lot to chose for the R7 yet, but I’m leaning towards some levers and an intake

My 4mm screw on the gear is loose 😭
Dang, did you loctite it
What is too low of rpms to use the quickshifter ?
It was more of a throttle position than an RPM, half throttle or higher made for a smoother shift
man the way that CP2 sounds with an after market exhaust!
Yea man it sounds fantastic 👌🏼
Nah auto blicky all the way on mine 😎
Yea I want the blipped too, one of these days I’ll upgrade
can be installed in MT-07 2022?
It doesn’t look like it fits, not sure why I would have thought it would
So once you install the quick shifter can you still normally shift the bike is there a switch or something you toggle to in order to engage the quick shifter ?
Yes nothing changes really other than you don’t need to use the clutch but you can use the bike normally too with the clutch and just forget it’s installed if you want
Oh so it’s engaged all the time basically there’s no on off kinda thing ?
Nope just use the bike as normal
Has down shift on bike bro?
No just upshift
Most def have to install this! 👍
yea man must have!!

In 11 years of riding I’ve never heard clutchless shifting described as short shifting; everybody I’ve know has always called it clutchless shifting or power shifting.
You are correct, i miss spoke its clutchless shifting not short
Power shifting at least in the car world is holding wide open throttle while still using the clutch to shift. Also called no lift shift
