    Good day all,

    Tried searching for this but could not find anything….

    Quick shifter works fine on up shifting, but will not down shift. :027: :187:
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Appreciate any help.

    If all other things are good...and it works on the upshift and not the downshift, I suspect your shift pressure/tension sensor is not well. Plugging into Motoscan or a GS-911 and looking at live data may show some insight. I've not seen one fail though....but sillier things have happened.

    I don’t have a Hex GS911 so will book it in with the agents for a check.

    in all honestly it still works with a slightly open throttle as long as you're decelerating

    Throttle closed, even tried different ride modes in the hope that it might make a difference  :110:
