      Definitely cool!! Great Mod, Dyno jet PCV I noticed you can add on. QUESTION could you get quick shifter on your 131? Or is it only for sport bikes? RIDE SAFE

    Quick shifters were designed for racing, to allow you to shift without having to lay off the throttle for a quick second. A great addition along with the electrons on the bikes of today. I once had a 5 speed chevy blazer and the clutch went out on it. I rigged the clutch switch so I could crank it up without having the clutch pressed in. I drove that blazer for 5 months with no clutch using speed shifting. The old days way of quick shifting.

    Damn bro. Was riding my new to me k6 gsxr for the first time today. (Came from a v twin Honda). Was shifting with the clutch my first pull. Brought the wheel up when I grabbed 2nd. Figured out I could quick shift it, but was letting off throttle. Quickly discovered it’s less jerky at high rpm so continued shifting with clutch in the lower rpm’s. But I didn’t know you could stay on the throttle. Will have to try it tomorrow.

  • @chrismoody1342
    @chrismoody1342 3 года назад +3

    Love the sound of that Yami. I clutchless shift a lot on my ZX6R. Most people trying clutchless shifting back off the throttle too much. It’s a barely perceptible flick off the throttle when you got the technique down. I will say it’s not as fast as an electronic quick shifter though.

      It just occurs automatic, WHILE still foot shifting, it automatically stops the engine spark, for a millisecond, allowing the clutch to be left out of the equation, but you are still using your foot on the gear shift, just no clutch, or backing off the throttle, allowing for quicker shifts.Basically, just cuts the spark ,with a switch, connected to the shifter lever.
