This is what I've been told about quick shifters and 1st and 2nd gear. Not sure if it's true but this is how it was explained to me: 1st to 2nd is the "longest" shift of the whole transmission, because the transmission has to shift through the neutral gear. It's basically 2 shifts in one shift. Shifting from 1st to neutral and then neutral to 2nd. This is why most often when a transmission fails, it is 2nd gear. So I would try to stay within that recomendation. Unless you're at a really really tight track, there's not often any reason to even go down into first gear so this shouldn't really be a problem. There's not a single track that I go to that I need to shift down into first gear. First gear is merely a "get the bike going from a dead stop" gear. and if your using a quick shifter for street use, well that's a whole seperate convo on wasted money that could've went to better, more relevant upgrades on the bike. But to each their own Of courseYeah I understand what you mean with adjustment. Although HM ask for measurement between two lock nuts with the lock nuts both fully screwed up onto the rod. Either way like you say it can always be adjusted up.
Ah well, it's done now. Just bought the QS from HM, castrol 10w40 power 1 oil, iridium plugs, K&N air filter.
Can't wait to get home and fit it all. I've got a Racefit growler on it too so should sound ace and make riding more fun on it.
FYI - HM recommended NOT to change up from 1st to 2nd all the time without clutch and WOT when using QS. Must be to avoid wearing of gearbox? Dunno...
possibly, did you ask them why? I would be interested in hearing what they have to say alsoit.
