I have owned 3 Rockets in 3 Days (Quick-shifter Content)

Take care... it also has some disadvantages... when you are riding in a group as last man, you always have to be sure not to roll over your front man when you overtake a car or a truck and return into the lane... 100 mph come with a blink of an eye...

 
A B S O L U T E L Y !!!!

I tested it on a Tiger 900 GT :
when leaving the dealership, I've used only normal clutch, time to get away from traffic and get used to the bike. What a pain this bike, does not have any power......Traffic soon behind me : hum hum the mode was on Rain...!
...Ok I move it to Sport and start using the quickshifter : Whoa ! It is a complete different bike, definitively more like a sport roadster than a trail ...
... This was my final test before deciding to get one on my R3...Will be installed in the coming days

Awesome, I think I'm sold as well. Is this a dealer install only item or is it easily installed at home? If so, where can it be purchased?
 
It is for sure a dealer install - at the end you need the dealer Software to have it working on your bike...

Yeah it requires a physical install, then a software update, then an activation on the bike computer, then you need to ride in each gear for 10-15 seconds for it to calibrate. True.
My dealer learnt this the haaaaard way, but they poured beer down my throat while I was waiting and chatted to me about the motorcycle logistics & supply chain. Do you know in Australia if you order triumph original parts through the dealer you can wait months. Going direct on eBay will take a few days. Mmmmmm.

One downside - its an absolute pain to install, and the dealer had to stay back a long shift to get it working properly - electronic trickery and witchcraftery.

Could you please be more specific ? Ah ok just seen the above post #15 which answers my question. Thanks
I'll ask my mechanic what he thinks of it.

An by the way, I see on the Triumph site over here that the installation requires only 60 minutes (which seems to me a little short when reading the instructions ? : https://www.triumphinstructions.com/ProdDocs/A9778507-EN.pdf )

I’m a fan of the quick shifter, it came stock on my bike. I like to have the choice to clutch or not. It’s like boom boom boom and your going pretty fast.

Same here . If the quick shifter did not allow this choice, I wouldn't have purchased probably the quick shifter
 
2 roadtrips these last weeks, cold but sunny and... also to test the quickshifter : it is so "compatible" with the R3 that it is "criminal" that Triumph does not include it by default

Yes, you guys are correct. Had dealer install at 1st oil change the other week and it really transformed the bike… It’s the difference between a traditional manual vs an F1 (aka PDK) transmission…. And the auto rev matching is spot on…. Absolutely love it… And to be honest, when entering traffic I believe it increases safety…. Accelerating before was brisk, now it’s truly fast…. Not sure what the Technician did, but before the install the shift linkage felt like it was in a bind, now it’s silky smooth….
