Quickshifter for V85?

Ok I agree with that.
How long is the period between disengagement of one gear and engagement of the next ? (Just an educated guess will do.)
No, I do not think auto blippers are a conspiracy theory, I know they exist, but let’s get these questions answered one at a time.
Why would you need to tell me that you were polite ? I’m not asking these questions because I don’t understand, I’m asking them because I do understand…

To answer your questions:

1. I have no idea how long the period of disengagement is.  But long enough for the engine to be revved by an auto-blipper, apparently. Does it matter how many ms that is?  I am sure it varies by gearbox design, and likely even by gear pairs.

2. I mentioned that I had already answered the question politely, because your more recent post I was responding to wasn't very polite at all - quite condescending and sarcastic, in my view.  Thus my little dig about conspiracy theories - also not polite.    I'll be nicer going forward if you will.

The reason I ask about the time thing, is that if I said it was 0.1 seconds and we both watched the same video, then the question would be, can you increase the rpm by 1000 in 0.1 seconds by opening (blipping) the throttle ?
No, certainly not in the “float time” between the gears.
I can bet anything if you got that bike in the workshop and took it up to 3,000 rpm in neutral and then blipped the throttle, 0.1 seconds is not enough to gain the required revs, especially with the tiny throttle
application he used.
Also you me and anyone else, can clearly hear that the revs are being slammed upwards /downwards by the gearbox, not the throttle. This is evidenced by the crash and the instantaneous nature of the rpm increase that you hear each and every time.

Less importantly, I don’t mind how impolitely I’m treated and I can’t see the sarcasm as clearly as you can on your side of the Pacific, but that’s standard fare at an Aussie barbecue.

Huzo, I have heard you're a pretty good guy in person, and I believe those who told me so.  And I believe that likely makes you a pretty good guy period.   But like many of us, the two dimensional world of electronic screens often scrambles intentions.   But I like you, as many of us do, so keep on keeping on!  ( I hope I didn't make any grammatical errors in this pros, as I have noticed such seems to get under your fingernails!)

That BC, IMNSHO, is what makes the internet so much fun!  The poster has absolutely zero control over how their post will be interpreted!

All, and I mean every single person who accesses the internet, fills in the voids that are either present in the posts they read, or that the voids that they perceive to be present in the posts they read, with "the intent of the poster" that they prefer to imagine.

Humans just don't seem to be well adapted to communicating with each other in a non face-to-face manner.

Voice inflections, tone of voice, facial clues, body language, etc. are all absent in text forums.

Endlessly fascinating that everyone seems to agree that "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!"

But when it comes time to assuming the responsibility for deciding to be offended or upset or find humor or accept a difference in culture, or a generational difference, etc..... many humans prefer to default to "You offended me or upset me!  How dare you!"  Imagine a Greta Thunberg voice.

Maybe Flip Wilson was right "The devil made me do it!!"

Oooops, correction, Bulldog9, "Can one earn a Purple Heart for wounds suffered while reading other people's posts on the internet?"

Enquiring minds want to know.....

Well, you did BC but I wasn’t going to mention it.

Well, maybe in Australia........

But I think you've dished out enough for most reading this thread to pass them out all around. 

I've long learned when you get stuck on something nothing will change your mind. That's why I invited you to come over and help me disassemble my 46 year old 132k mile XS1100 which had been shifted clutchlessly by yours truly for 130k of this miles.

You can't discern me from Huzo!!!!!

I rest my case!!!!

This is possibly the most OFFENSIVE thing I have ever read on the internet!!

Bahahaaaa.....

What can I say..... Little phone, old eyes, long day, and houseguests who overstayed their visa 4 months ago


But I sure am glad Dusty isn't a moderator anymore. If so, I'd have been banned for life!!

Apologies to you and Huzo. I'll let you guys decide who's worse offended. But hey, if he comes to the US for me to prove him wrong about clutchless shifting, you should come up to Rock Bridge Baths/Lexington and join in the fun...

Seriously, I need to stop posting on WG from phone.

As a good friend says:  "Never apologize.  It just confuses people!"

Self-deprecating humor is the best kind.  Sooner or later, we all screw up! 

Self-deprecating humor is kind of like Butt Hurt Proof Armor (BHRA) if you think about it!

Every day when I get out of bed, I don the BHPA!  Sometimes I even wear it to bed...

Since your are only about a 2 hour ride away thru some glorious scenery, I might have to take you up on that some day.

More great roads in VA than one can ride in a lifetime.  with or without a clutch....

Yes, we definitely need to get together. A former member (actually banned for life) lives in Appomattox.

I know who you mean.  My wife used to work with him & I met him at a couple of Moto Guzzi lunches.
