To Pin Point the DQS issue, I will make some facts and assumption to delete the possible cause:

Facts:
1. When I fell in the garage, bike landed on my leg (bike never touched the ground) but I believe Rearset was on my leg and when I picked it up, I saw scratch on the Swingarm where Shift Road bolt is at. It did not shift mechanically. Took the rearset apart and put it back and it worked Both Mechanically and DQS.
2. Tracked the bike 12 times with no issue for BOTH
3. Installed RCS 19 Clutch, Flush the fluids
4. First time rode on the Track, DQS did not work.
5. Did NOT installed hydraulic switch and did NOT installed switch (start on neutral)
6. SATO Rearsets (reverse shift)
7. Visually, I cant see any bent and also SATO guy as well (lives 2 miles away)
8. Reputable suspension/mechanical guy also could not figure what might be the cause (not Ducati specific guy)

Assumptions:
1. Installing RCS 19 Clutch is NOT the cause
2. Rearset frame structure is bent slightly that is causing minor tweaks that is causing issue? (although it works mechanically)
3. There is an Error in DQS Electrical?
4. Shift Rod is bent or off?
 
I'd love to hear some suggestions. I down loaded a new map with tuneboy and my DQS quit working also. Suggestions?
 
Can folk post some rearsets with shifter photos that I can see. I like to see how the shift rod is positioned.

This is the only pic I have on my phone. I can take a better one after work.

Also, if its anything like my BMW there is a little prong on the clutch lever that has to be just right in order for its quick shift to work. May want to look at that also.
 
You need to install the clutch switch. DQS works when clutch lever is out. It doesn't work when lever is pulled in. That switch is important to more than just starting the bike.

Everything worked fine till you installed the RCS so that points back to the clutch switch.

Here is a better picture of my rearset with the shifter, not sure if that helps. But I agree I think it is has something to do with switching out the clutch lever.

This is why it is mind blowing to me since this did occur after RCS...

RCS clutch does NOT come with micro switch but RCS brake does.

There is no Microswitch from Brembo. You can however do hydraulic switch but that causes problems from what I heard.

If lever is out for DQS to work, I'm not sure why Micro Switch will cause DQS issue since there is no connection (like when clutch is pulled in)

From those that did installed RCS, they say it is definitely Not RCS.

So I am very very confused. Did you install RCS clutch as well?

OK did you physically remove the clutch switch from its connector? the connector is behind the upper fairing (clutch side) (2 pin) or is the switch still connected and tucked in somewhere. If the switch has been removed from the harness, it will not effect the QS. If the switch is still connected, and not triggered correctly, you are going to have QS issues. One of the things that switch does is disengage the QS when the clutch is pulled in. The switch operates in a reverse fashion than would be expected so if it is just hanging there, it is in the engaged position and you will have QS issues. I do not have the switch connected.

very good point. I believe it is disconnected but I will check again.

Thanks
