CORDONA PQ8 212 Combo Quickshifter, Stand-Alone Quickshifter for various Ducati Monster / Hypermotard / Multistrada etc.

Product Details

Cordona 212 PQ8 Combo Quickshifter, stand-alone quickshifter kit consisting of module, sensor, wiring harness and shift rod (132 mm), for various Ducati models (see compatibility list)

General Description

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

Features:
- Stand-alone system: no further accessories are required.
- Easy reversion possible.
- 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 of 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 considered depending on the riding conditions. The interruption time is adjustable between 40-80 milliseconds.
- During the shifting 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 leaning or enrichment of the mixture formation.
- Integrated “Smooth Shift” to reduce load peaks on transmission and chain. Furthermore, when upshifting, the loss of traction, as with MotoGP quickshifters, is minimised. During the upshifting process, all cylinders are simultaneously shut off, and the re-engagement of traction occurs 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 works on 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 an 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 plug-top ignition coils, the +12V power supply comes from the ignition coil via the red cable, which leads directly to the CPU of the PQ8 quickshifter. Simple installation, as additional cable installation for 12V power supply is omitted.
- Automatic on/off switching controlled via speed. Fully adjustable to prevent unintended engine shutdown by shifting into neutral during idle speed.
- Audible signal generator for acoustic feedback during functional testing and commissioning. Very useful when installed behind fairings.
- Auto Shift, for “drag racing” only, 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. For this, the shift rpm can be lowered to intentionally be slower in subsequent races.
- Energy saving: if no input is made via the PQ8 display for 60 seconds, the electronics enter power-saving mode. A flashing dot now indicates that the system is ready. Very useful if a battery pack is used to power the quickshifter. The majority of the power consumption from the PQ8 display is eliminated.
- Made in Sweden.
