CORDONA PQ8 210B Combo Quickshifter, Stand-Alone Quickshifter for various models

Product details

Cordona 210B PQ8 Combo Quickshifter, stand-alone quickshifter kit consisting of module, sensor, wiring harness, and shift rod (170 mm), for various models (see compatibility list)

General description

Electronic full-throttle upshifts, seamless acceleration - whether for racing motorcycles, street motorcycles, drag bikes, go-karts, cross-karts - essentially anything with a sequential transmission. The PQ8 does not trigger an error message in engines with fuel injection. The PQ8 has been developed with the latest technology and is continuously optimised through its use in global racing series.

Features:
- Stand-alone system: no further accessories are required.
- Easy to revert to original setup.
- Supplied with a universal shift rod (6 mm internal thread). This may need to be shortened to the correct length depending on the footrest system used. Other shift rods in different lengths are available; see accessories.
- Built on advanced GP technology and fully computer-controlled via a 20 MHz CPU. Programming via a 2 tip switch system.
- Compu Shift calculates the perfect interruption time for each individual upshift. From a selection of 500 interruption times, various engine ratios, acceleration, load, and engine speed are taken into account depending on the riding conditions. The interruption time is adjustable between 40-80 milliseconds.
- During the shift process, it simulates stable engine operation for the ECU, thus allowing a smooth and stable upshift. This generates no error messages and does not lead to unwanted lean or rich grease mixture formation.
- Integrated “Smooth Shift” to reduce load peaks on the transmission and chain. Furthermore, during upshifts, the loss of traction is minimised, similar to MotoGP quickshifters. During the upshift, all cylinders are simultaneously shut off, and traction is re-engaged via a computer-controlled sequence in conjunction with Compu Shift.
- Solid, waterproof housing and high-quality wiring harness. The circuit board is fully potted and equipped with a 26-pin aviation standard connector.
- Very high-quality sensor based on strain gauge technology.
- Sensor operates on both push and pull, so it can also be used for reverse shift patterns.
- All functions can be easily and problem-free programmed directly at the racetrack or on tour, without any additional device, using two buttons and the LED display.
- Supplied with ready-to-use connectors for Denso and Mitsubishi ignition coils, which are used in most Japanese sports motorcycles, as well as Triumph and KTM vehicles [For KTM Superduke R 2008, Beru ignition coils are installed; please use the wiring harness for Ducati 749 here]. For Ducati 748-998, 749-1198, Aprilia RSV 4, MV Agusta 2 and 4 ignition coils, corresponding wiring harnesses are available through the Cordona distribution network. For other ignition coil systems, installation is not “plug and play” but remains straightforward.
- For vehicles with stick coils (coil-on-plug ignition coils), the +12V power supply comes from the ignition coil via the red cable, which leads directly to the PQ8 quickshifter's CPU. Easy installation, as additional cable installation for 12V power supply is eliminated.
- Automatic on/off switching controlled via speed. Fully adjustable to prevent unintentional engine shutdown by shifting into neutral during idle speed.
- Audible signal generator for acoustic feedback during function testing and commissioning. Very useful when installed behind fairings.
- Auto Shift, only for “drag racing,” can be selected to automatically activate the quickshifter at a specific and adjustable speed. The rider only needs to keep the shift lever preloaded between shifts. Useful in “handicap” races where the rider must stay below the “break out” time. The shift RPM can also be lowered to intentionally be slower in subsequent races.
- Power saving: if no input is made via the PQ8's display for 60 seconds, the electronics enter power-saving mode. A blinking dot then indicates that the system is ready. Very useful when a battery pack is used to power the quickshifter. The majority of power consumption for the PQ8 display is eliminated.
- Made in Sweden.
