same with DCT, dabbing away at the non-existent pedal and then you pull up for a stop with a regular box and forget to pull the clutch

Seker dieselfde wat jy almal sê van n KTM ry

Tegnologie is daar om dit vir jou geriefliker te maak.
XT500 van 82 het nie eens 'n brandstofmeter gehad nie. Petrol prop oopgedraai en die buke heen en weer geskud om te bepaal of daar brandstof in is.
Hoe bly was ons nie toe daar in brandstofliggie gekom het nie.
Vandag lees ons meer as te veel informasie van die skerm af. Selfs te veel vir 'n enkel skerm, jy moet tussen die skerms rondblaai om te bepaal hoe lank jy gery het en hoe lank jy staties was ens. Die besprekingspunt is nou watter skerm lees die maklikste met een oog opslag.
Dieselfde vir meganiese opgraderings. Alles het met kabels en hefbome gewerk, Die remme en die koppelaar was 'n kabel, so ook die spoedmeter. Vandag is dit hidrolies en elektronies.
ABS was 'n groot besprekingspunt tot so 'n paar jaar gelede. Nou is dit al Dinamiese ABS. Verstellings aan die onderstel was 'n ring met 'n klomp kepe op die skokbreker. Toe is dit Damping en springtravel met skroewedraaiers en groot knoppe. Toe elektronies, en vandag praat ons van "selfleveling" .
Dieselfde vir spoedbeheer Quick Shifters Ry modusse.
Dit alles dinge wat laaaaaang besprekingspunte was. Die uitslag is gewoonlik dieselfde; die man wat dit het glo daarby en die een wat dit nog nie het nie beskou dit as lewensgevaarlik / onnodig/ onvanpas / iets wat hy nie met sy tang en draad in die middel van die Sahara kan herstel nie.
My beleid is; Moenie tegnologie najaag nie, moet dit ook nie summier afskiet nie maar as dit oor jou pad kom gryp dit aan.
My voorspelling is dat elektiese aandrywing die petrolmodelle gaan dwing om CVT tegnologie of 'n ander vorm van automatiese ratkaste te gebruik.

Tegnologie pas die nuwer geslag van ryers soos n handskoen, om verskeie redes.
Ek sal volstaan met elektroniese inspuiting en ontsteking, en dit is alreeds n groot sprong van n XT500 met sy 6volt elektriese stelsel.
Elektroniese hulpmiddels is wonderlik, maar dit help my nie omdat ek nie wil leer nie.
Maw, elektronika moet my help, nie meer werk gee nie. Dit breek in op rytyd as jy heeldag n skermpie moet druk en stoot.

Daar is geen hulp vir jou nie....druk/stoot die skermpie na die "Off" setting vir als, en onthou jy kan dit doen omdat jou gloves op die petrol pomp le..
Jy kan dit gebruik om minder gloves te verloor.

Is Droomers fitting your quick-shifter?
Would love to have feel once you are happy?

Adding a QS to my GS/A when I had a bit of spare cash was one of the best things I've ever done to it. But, I would not have added it if I had to make a plan to budget and save for it. When a nice windfall came my way it presented the opportunity.
So, it's a great add-on. But, I've been shifting clutchless (up and down) since school days, never broken a gearbox, so never really saw the need. As Dan and others say, in drag races it's cool because you cannot shift that fast yourself.
Be careful though. I'm not sure if this is a thing with all bike's QS, but my GS/A blips the throttle on downshifts. All nice and well, until you rest your foot on the lever accidentally and the ECU thinks you want to downshift. The engine blips, you almost fall off the back (especially when shifting back to 2nd) and your eyes widen. A lot. Your ass tightens too. A lot.
Technical terrain... yeah it helps, especially if you are not used to cluthless shifts yourself.
It definitely ups the enjoyment level of the bike!

We used to make our own quickshifters with the little microswitches out of irrigation equipment.
Simple bracket that fits the switch in close proximity to the gearlever, wired to cut the coil when you move the gearlever a certain amount.
My first attempt was on a RD350B, in 1980. Crude but it worked, and we could change gears 0,0000003 seconds faster than before.

QS is like a aircon in a car, you don't miss it until you have it, then you cann't live without it, My 2c worth.
Ps. and is just sounds great when you gearing down

I disagree, on gearing down it sounds like any Audi/Golf, from the Cape Flats. Horrible. Fake too.

I must be old school then. Don't like it at all - it interferes when you just touch the gear shift lever accidentally. I don't like surprises.

So maybe I should spoil myself a bit
