2022 rocket3 with quick shifter

Concur. I got about 25k miles out of my front brake pads as I religiously downshift when slowing (mainly because I love the sound of the Werkes exhaust). I find that if I'm not at zero throttle the downshifts can be a bit clunky. If I'm off the throttle completely they are smooth like butter. Similarly for the up shifts... The more throttle I'm giving it, the smoother the upshifts are. That's fine by me as there not much of a better feeling than being at WOT and just clicking through the gears on this bike!

thanks for all of the inputs, I'll proceed to get the bike checked out
