caligarinet Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Quickshifter Basic Quickshifter with all the toys Basic quickshifter system for general road or race use as well as motocross and supermoto, gear lever mounted quickshifting for clutchless upshifts and without rolling off the throttle (substantially reduced lap times due to less chassis stress and less suspension movement during each gearshift, maintains constant drive as well as facilitating much faster gearshifts) and internal battery for ease of installation. Anyone got an info on these? ease of installation? practicality of use?

blade_runner Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I think Gee-fin has either this system or a simular one... do a search in tec talk, i'm sure he posted links to his website with videos and installation info.... it looked like a good system, and the gear changes were fast and clean.

Ferrino Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Still haven't installed mine, but it should be fairly trivial to attach the sensor to your linkage and then tap into the ignition coil feeds. Bite me 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Howe Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Graeme Finlayson has a bike engine set up, which therefore removes the locational problems of connecting to the linkage with a stanadard set up gear lever. You might want to consider a strain gauge as a less expensive start to such a project.

Irrelevant Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Bear in mind you will feck up your gearbox in no time if it doesn't work properly and hacking wires into coil wires can very easily cause complications with ECU signals......I'm so concerned about this with my installation that I am not going to use one at all until I'm happy that it will work properly. There are more issues with my car than most but I'm convinced that (for my car) only a system that is wired into the ECU will guarantee that it works properly. Suffering serious sprint cold-turkey.

Coose Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Don't tap into the coil supply - use the kill switch or side-stand switch inputs. At least the ignition is designed to be disabled this way! We will mend it We will fix it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 that (for my car) only a system that is wired into the ECU will guarantee that it works properly Sorry, was nosing about for quickshift info. Sure you know this already Adam, but DynoJet do a Quickshifter sensor for their PowerCommander USB. It plugs directing into the Powercommander, and is controlled by the same software. You can vary the cut time (Dynojet recommended adjusting the standard setting for a BEC to 150ms) etc The (slow) birth of the Gixxerham : Pics here now with extra drivel here Edited by - Noger on 15 Jun 2005 08:13:33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
