    Hi All, interested in finding out if its possible to get Launch Control fitted/activated on a standard 2017-2019 blade that already has a HONDA QS fitted?
    .
    Only want it for the gimmick effect - I occasionally track ride - mainly road - and definitely no racing. Appreciate people will say "why do want it then?" and as I said its purely "gimmick" (and fun)

    Spoke to Jordan Bikes in Leeds and they say I need to have a Woolich racing pack and QS fitted at £850. Which is way too pricey and I've already got a Honda QS fitted.

    So - is there any way to achieve this with a standard 2017-2019 blade (not SP) that's already fitted with a genuine Honda QS?

    PS - don't say buy an SP2!

    Don’t think there is a way of getting it. I have SP2 and it doesn’t even have it, need race ECU to get it on that bike.

    Pity Jordan Bikes didn't tell you the whole correct truth ;)

    You only need the Woolich Race Tools license and switch. You don't need the Woolich QS hardware as well.

    The only way using Honda hardware is with the HRC ECU.

    I have Woolich LC on my street SP2 and HRC LC on my SuperBike SP2

    And its not so much a gimmick, as that Launch Control is expensive to operate.
    You will burn up a full 1/4 of your clutch plate life with a single proper launch.
