Having only been on regular bikes, I recently test rode an XSR900 with quickshifter and Honda's new e-clutch system.

The e-clutch was interesting, I can see the appeal of not having to shift into neutral at the red light. However, whether the e-clutch or quickshifter felt a little awkward and low value add to me. As in, gear changes felt a bit rough (?).

Now I don't want to sound like an old fart and maybe I'm just not using the thing correctly but I just felt better using the clutch to manage a smoother gear change/control revs. And if anything I can always do clutchless upshift on my bike.

I can easily get behind automatic cars because you just hit gas or brake, and so I'd understand automatic bikes as well for the same reason (not for me but scooters are popular so there is a market). But quickshifters just save you from using the clutch?

I feel like I don't quite get why you would pay a few hundred $$ to add a quickshifter as an option like they do on certain bikes.

I don't mean to offend anyone, I genuinely feel like I missed that train.

En été je vois tellement de motards en short, t-shirt, baskets que les motards équipés deviennent une minorité.

Et je ne parle pas des gars en t-max avec claquettes de sécurité et madame en robe estivale derrière à 140 sur l’autoroute.

Pourquoi n’y a t’il pas de système comme une couverture des frais limités à 50% par l’assurance si le gars ne se protège pas?

Je veux bien qu’on prend les risques en sa propre âme et conscience mais c’est la sécurité sociale qui paiera ses 6 mois d’hôpital parce qu’il ne voulait pas avoir chaud. Et en plus les pompiers qui devront récupérer les morceaux sur la route.

Hi there, I couldn't find documentation online about how to properly install a USB charger on the Eliminator, apart from the odd reddit and forum questions.

So I wrote a guide here: https://www.eliminatorforum.com/threads/how-to-installing-usb-charger-with-relay-on-eliminator-500-non-se.546/

I hope it helps
