Healtech QuickShifter

[1kjay]

I installed a HT Quickshifter on my 2012 and the engine cuts out when I barely touch the shifter. The instructions say if this occurs, raise the sensor threshold but I’m at 100% and this happens.
Has this happened to anyone and have you found a fix?

I had to contact Healtech directly to get mine setup right. Used to have the same issue as you and I think the problem was the cutoff delay not being long enough and sensitivity being too high (but it's been a minute).
Here's what my settings are in the app, can add their instructions if you want.

I will try these and yes, could you add their instructions? Thank you!

Here ya go.

1) Install the sensor in the ROD WITHOUT the conical washers, so the sensor only.
Tighten the nut fully by hand then by about 30 degrees using a wrench.
The sensor can be at either side of the rod. See the photo attached.

2) Run the Setup Wizard and follow the instructions.
After the Wizard, make sure the "Noise filtering" is set to "Active+".
Otherwise, please re-run the Wizard and make sure you do the shifts properly when prompted.

3) Under the "Sensor setup", tap and hold the "QSE sensor" button for about 5 seconds, until the text switches to "QSE sensor+".
Go back to the app main (1st) page and check the sensor value.
- Check the signal for upshift: It should be a high number
- Check the signal for downshift: It should be 0 or a small number in yellow

4) Have the "First RPM" high enough, where you need the QS function working.

5) After a test ride, fine tune the settings.
Change one parameter at a time, in this order:

*Sensor threshold:
-If the shift lever is too hard, adjust the threshold LOWER.
-If you experience unwanted cut-offs when touching the shift lever lightly or you hit false neutral, adjust the threshold HIGHER.

*Cut-off delay:
This value delays the start of the engine cut to ensure proper force is built up on the shift lever. The default is 15ms.
- INCREASE this value if you occasionally hit false neutral, the gearbox drops out of gear after a shift, the cut-off occurs too
early or the shift feel is inconsistent.
- DECREASE the value if the shift lever is too hard or the cut-off occurs too late. Before changing the Cut-off delay from the
default, adjust the "Sensor threshold" properly.

*Cut-off time:
Cut-off time is the duration for which the ignition sparks or fuel injection stops.
- If you feel the bike JUMPS during a shift, INCREASE the cut-off time(s).
- If you feel the bike's front DIVES (due to engine braking) during a shift, you have to DECREASE the cut-off time(s).

6) After the first 30 miles or so, we recommend to re-tighten the nut by about 10-20 degrees.
It has to be done once after the installation.

Hi mate, did you resolve? Have you maybe tightened the nuts up too tight against the sensor?

No. The issue was never resolved and the quick shifter stopped functioning shortly after and eventually caused the engine to lock up while attempting a shift, stretched my chain to its max due to the sudden stop in engine rotation, and threw up codes on the dash indicating faults with the harnesses for ignition coils 1-4. The engine would not start after this event but once i disconnected the quick shifter harness, the engine fired up and shifted gears normally. I ended up filing a warranty claim and sent the unit back to HealTech. I won't be installing another.

Wow, that's an interesting turn of events. I've had mine on the bike for about 9 months now and haven't noticed any issues so far. Sorry to hear that mate
