So the last 2 other bikes I had / have (2014 BMW S1000R and 2019 Tracer 900 GT) both have QS up only and both are smoother than the GSAP (up) on the RS.
All three bikes shift smoother using the QS, the more the throttle is twisted while accelerating - keep the throttle in one position (static) while shifting up without the clutch and the jerk will be worst. Keep twisting the throttle gently while shifting up and the jerk will be much reduced. Twist the throttle in anger and shift up and you'll likely get the smoothest shifts.
The RS jerks in the 1-2 shifts more than the other 2 bikes, and 2-3 is less jerky. All other upshifts are very smooth especially if the rate of twist of the throttle is changing. The Tracer has the smoothest QS of the lot and the S1000R was between the two but the most violent.
Shifts with a quickshifter have to be quick.
