Don't use the Quickshot! They have problems.
Just tune your apump correctly, and you will be fine.

If you do any flat/ long distance stuff, go with a R&D Powerbowl II, as it works great for partial throttle sensitivity issues.

great thank you. is the quikshot pump cover ok to use, or should i just get rid of it all together? The bike is a track bike. Would a dyno jet kit have this stuff? or would i be better off ordering everything.

The Boyesen quick shot is a 'band-aid' attempt to improve apump characteristics, but it doesn't work as well as just jetting and setting the apump correctly.

You can buy it all ala-cart from a Yamaha Watercraft dealer (half the price of Honda or Kawi mc dealer)
