TOPIC: Dynojet Quickshifter issue

Dynojet Quickshifter issue 2 years 4 months ago #1

Well mine lasted a few hundred miles and the cheap aluminium mounting bracket broke and gouged my engine cover. Dealer is taking care of me (and Dynojet!) but watch it does not happen to you. The cheap aluminium bracket needs to be replaced with something much more sturdy.Take a look at the pics.......	bmgonsf OFFLINE Fresh Max Posts: 37 Thank you received: 6

That sucks the problem with aluminum it fatigues a small piece of Titanium stock will last forever it's completely malleable for life small pieces of stock available on line and BTW Dupli Color engine enamel with Ceramic color" Cast Coat Iron" it's about a dead ringer for engine color touch up part # 26916 91651 .

looks like the small tab goes behind one of the sase bolts and the long tab is your travel adjustment seems kinda cheesy using poor quality aluminum spend a few cents more for high quality aircraft stock , But I would still make one out of titanium.	capt bob OFFLINE Platinum Max Posts: 4079 Thank you received: 1718

That's the difference Tyler...you got your's from Ken and this one that broke is from dynajet. Ken makes quality parts. Rick	92vmax OFFLINE Expert Max Posts: 754 Thank you received: 62

I too have the quick shifter from Ken at Evoluzione. Installation was a breeze and I haven't had any issues with it. I'm liking those Otec parts, Tyler. A bit pricey, though. Maybe after the next deployment.	medic981 OFFLINE Expert Max Posts: 723 Thank you received: 340

Thanks Capt Bob for the tip. The dealership ordered me a new cover so I wont have to paint it but I will bear that in mind for any scrapes that I do to the bike. They are also going to get the bracket made out of billet Al that should last.

Thats correct, I was totally amazed they would even dream of selling a product like this where one cheap part ruins the whole product. Thats why I wanted to alert people, if you do go the Dynoject route dont use the stock bracket.
