Ive got one on my zx10r,its a handy addition,does make for a smoother rapid down change say from 6th down to 2nd or 1st into a hair pin,and has got to put less stress through your gearbox,but not realy essential on a bec,more a requirement for a bike,stop the rear wheel hop under hard down changes,and more importantly stop rear wheel lock if your engine seizes up,so spend your money elsewhere in my opinion.

i was looking at using the cut on the powercommander, this sensor looks better than the power commander ones.

Ive not got one of those but I have got a trickshifter,great bit of kit,now these are worth spending your money on,certainly makes the car quicker to drive,you make a couple of metres on a similar powered car every up change.

I've got one in the R1 <-, much more confidence slick shifting down a few gears to chuck it into a bend, but, on the bike if the rear locks up in a bend 9/10 results in an unwanted get off. Can prevent over revving on downshifts and the resultant stresses, so, depending on how hard you plan on driving you choose where to spend yot £ 000's

Yes it will,up shifts on a bec can be done anyway without,but it allows full throttle upshifts which is the important bit,just keep your foot planted to the floor while you change gear,it will also blip the throttle on down shifts to allow you clutchless down shifts aswell

Forgive my ignorance as i havent riden bikes before. So whats the best way to change gear with a slipper clutch. I always use the clutch for all changes, numerically up and down. Any tips considering I am on day 4 of driving it

I think it holds true for a slipper too.

a slipper clutch should still be used with the clutch, it just gradually brings rear wheel speed in line with engine speed if you drop down the box too quick, therefore stopping the rear wheels locking up/ putting tons of strain on the gearbox.

You can change UP without using the clutch, just weight the gear lever slightly, take the pressure off the throttle and snick it into the next gear, then back on the gas. it should be real smooth
