What - That was a shift - constant seamless power throughout the gears...! For those interested, see some further thoughts below on install, learning, performance and furthest below on practicality.

- Install
- Straight out of the box the install and configure is an hour (not including body panels).
- No wire splicing just connect the wiring harness to the stick coils and primary ignition harness, control unit and sensor
- Route wiring
- Mount strain sensor onto the shift rod
- Setup Wizard through the Healtech AP
- Straight out of the box the install and configure is an hour (not including body panels).
- Learning:
- Automated learning technology
- Professional mode allows fine tuning per RPM, I stayed in Auto mode.
- Takes a couple shifts to lose the throttle / clutch muscle memory
- Guided by the AP made some minor updates to Cutoff and Strain gauge delay timing
- Reduced preload delay timing to 10 MS
- Reduced Cut to 80 MS
- Set minimum RPM to 4K
- Automated learning technology
- Performance:
- Intended for up shifts only - downshifts are possible if sensor mounted on shift arm but not recommended
- Shifts in lower gears (1->2 & 2->3) are better with heavier throttle, higher RPM and solid accelerating momentum
- 1->2 is clunky unless above 6K and accelerating heavily
- Healtech states gear shifts 1 -> 2 only use if smooth for your machine and riding style (will clutch unless getting on it)
- IMO overall - Lower RPM (~4K - 5K) and lower gear shifts there’s not much benefit and is less smooth than a clutch shift
- 3/4 throttle first couple gear changes requires attention to maintain front end planted - simply just constant power!
- Clutch shipments are just fine to still perform there is no side effect of using clutch and activating
