#1 | Quickshifter question datum

Sun Sep 20, 2020 4:46 pm

Just picked up a 2020 1250RS with what the dealer called the "Premium package". It has the Pro Ride modes, TPM, Cruise, etc. (most of the goodies). Reading all the reviews, am I correct that there are TWO kinds of quickshifter available? One for up and down and one for up only? Or am I confused???

The original Gear Shift Assist(GSA) would do up shifts only. The next iteration Gear Shift Assist Pro (GSAP) would do up and down shifts. I don't think any but very early R1200RS's would have GSA- it is up-gradeable to GSAP.

Did you not ask your dealer what your bike has when you bought it?

Yeah, they said it has QS Pro. It just seems less smooth downshifting than up. I had it on my 2018 RT 1200...it seemed a little less notchy on that bike. Haven't been able to find any other faults with this 1250. Superb engine dynamics allows for much more efficient engine braking.

How do I measure my engine braking so I know where I stand on the Engine Braking Scale?

I�ve always reckoned it�s pretty good.

Carpe Diem!

I used the Standard SOP (seat if the pants) scale, comparing it to my previous boxer, a 2018 RT.
