Do I need to install the Quick-Shifter on my R3GT?

To be sure I re-read your posts in this thread... I think you are thinking you are asking questions but you're not. You're just making statements that somehow you'd like a response to... The questions you did ask, I answered. As to what "impressions" you get from my post, that's on you, not me. Maybe you're not so cool after all.

As you can see in my signature, you're both wrong but thanks for playing along. With 150,000km between them, I think I'm good.

@imcool didn't you mention to me somewhere that the Rocket 3 is your FIRST bike over 300cc? Pretty sure that you quoted my message to you from a year or so ago... I was actually looking out for your safety (and others). As I recall, you wanted to take the bike out for a spin when it got to 12C one day in March cause you thought you needed to slush the oil around the engine casing... same guy? Didn't I try to talk you out of it?

OK, 4:00 lower field under the bleachers after school. I'll hold the backpacks and lunch money.

A lot of responses in the "Nah, you don't need it" camp and a few more in the "Hell yes, it add another level to the bike" camp.

So I'll likely not. As much as I love to get up through the gears, I still want the control for slow speed maneuvers.

I have my 32,000km service on my R3GT in a couple of weeks and if they have it there for two days, they could get it done.

For you cool "newer" riders of the Rocket 3, a service is something you do when you get up in miles to keep your bike in peak performance. In this case, it's the valve clearance check and adjustment that really requires some attention...plus the standard ECU updates and fluid checks, etc....
