Monster 1200s Q/S issues

uksurfer · 03-09-2020, 01:59 PM

has anyone had an issue with the quickshifter on the 1200s?
Starts and is fine but starts playing up later during the day maybe when the engine is warm
The dash shows QS-- instead of QS U/D
Do i need a new bike?
Cheers

Might just need to reset by a dealer. I have disabled the QS on my 1200s as it's crap. At the speeds I ride at I have found I can change gear quicker and smoother without it, it might be better at 7000 revs and above but I don't use revs that high.

I’ve booked it in for a service, rode it today to get some new tyres and it worked fine so maybe it’s ok 👍

I have turned it off in touring mode as I didn’t think it warrants it, sport
Mode I quite like it

Service yesterday at Moto Rapido, quick shifter was replaced (no warranty so £68) but ran perfectly on the way home.
They also did a full fluid change so everything feels good, might just keep it now
