Do it, they're a factory option for the street triple so dead easy to install.

Got to find one now that is compatible with the triple, i could just go to a main dealer, they charge £295 with free fitting.

Take a look on fowlers parts, they do a breakdown list of every single part on a bike, you'll find what you need.

Thanks Clov!s. Just ordered the tail cover section + some other bits. Such a good site. Bookmarked for future use. Can't believe I failed to stumble on it when searching.

Is that for the official triumph one? That's about right TBH - the SP Syncrotech one I'm looking at for the Tuono is £230 ish.

If you get the factory one there's no messing about with coil pack leads and whatever else. I'm pretty sure the quickshifter for your bike will be the same as the 675r Daytona one, so you might get one cheap on ebay.

In fact there's one on ebay now with 1hr 42 mins left at just over £100

You can buy it here for £295 and fit it yourself, when i spoke to triumph about it, they said they would fit for free if i buy from them, whether they hold up their end on that i don't know.

Hmm, i'm not sure if that would fit, mine is a 2011 registered (60 plate) so is it worth the risk or not?

TallPaul_S · 29 May 2016 at 18:37

To be honest, that looks like about a 10 minute job to fit, if that - if they charged to fit it, that would be taking the ****

Old shift rod off, new rod with strain gauge thing on, plug it in, cable tie it up, ride.

Captain · 29 May 2016 at 18:42

True but this is main dealer we are talking about

According to triumph one quickshifter (part number A9930222) fits:

Daytona 675 ABS 2009-2016
Street Triple ABS 2009-2016
Street Triple R ABS 2009-2016

http://www.triumphmotorcycles.co.uk/accessories/performance/2013/quickshifter-a9930222

So yep, I'd say there's a good chance that quickshifter is the one you're after.

Captain · 29 May 2016 at 18:50

Does it matter about ABS or not? Mine doesn't have ABS..

Craig321 · 29 May 2016 at 18:51

Nahhhhhhhh you don't need it.

The MT09 is the first bike I've had in 25 years of riding that has it. I locked the back on purpose to see, feels a bit weird when it doesn't skid. I don't think its a big deal if you haven't got it. Guess it could make life harder if you've always had it and then don't.

TallPaul_S · 29 May 2016 at 18:56

I very much doubt it'll make any difference, the jack lilley site says fits any street triple 2009 onwards. ABS or non ABS.

Captain · 29 May 2016 at 18:56

I meant for the quickshifter

It only lists bikes with ABS

That's true, i'll order it, won't go any higher than £130 though, ok maybe £150

Just done a 70 mile round trip through Worcester, Evesham, Stratford and back home, definitely fitting a Quickshifter, hard acceleration + changing gear isn't very smooth, so being able to accelerate and change gear without coming off the throttle and no clutch is what i need.

Really? Just close the throttle, pop up the gear and open throttle again. If you need a quick shifter to do that smoothly then I'd get the bike looked at as something is wrong.

When not accelerating the quickshifter is needed to upshift smoothly.

TallPaul_S · 29 May 2016 at 19:17

I can't do clutchless upshifts either tbh, might just be my bike but they're rarely smooth.

Quickshifters are great fun anyway, no other reason needed to have one

Captain · 29 May 2016 at 19:26

They look like loads of fun

That QS on ebay has now gone to £160, decisions decisions!

Not so smooth when accelerating at 70mph and changing from 3rd to 4th
