CORDONA PQ8 213 Combo Quickshifter, Stand-Alone for various Ducati 750SS / 900SS / 748 / 996 / 998

Product Details

Cordona 213 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 race bikes, street bikes, drag bikes, go-karts, cross-karts - basically anything with a sequential transmission. The PQ8 does not trigger an error message in engines with fuel injection. The PQ8 was developed with the latest technology and is continuously optimised through its use in racing series worldwide.

Features:
- Stand-alone system: no additional accessories are required.
- Easy to reverse installation is 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 in different lengths are available; see accessories.
- Built on advanced GP technology and completely computer-controlled using 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.
- Simulates stable engine operation towards the ECU during the shifting process, thus allowing for a smooth and stable upshift. This generates no error messages and does not lead to unwanted lean or grease mixture formation.
- Integrated “Smooth Shift” to reduce load peaks on the transmission and chain. Furthermore, the loss of traction during upshifts, similar to MotoGP quickshifters, is minimised. During the upshift, all cylinders are switched off simultaneously; traction is re-engaged through a computer-controlled sequence, in conjunction with Compu Shift.
- Solid, waterproof housing and high-quality wiring harness. The circuit board is completely potted and equipped with a 26-pin aviation standard connector.
- Very high-quality sensor based on strain gauge technology.
- Sensor works on both push and pull, so it can also be used for reverse shift patterns.
- All functions can be programmed easily and without problems directly at the racetrack or on tour, without an additional device, using two buttons and the LED display.
- Supplied with ready-to-use plugs 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 uncomplicated.
- 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 PQ8 quickshifter's CPU. Easy installation, as additional cable installation for 12V power supply is eliminated.
- Automatic on/off switching controlled by speed. Fully adjustable to prevent unwanted 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 has to keep the shift lever preloaded between shifts. Useful in “handicap” races where the rider has to stay under the “break out” time. The shift speed can also be reduced to be intentionally slower in subsequent races.
- Power 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. Most of the power consumption from the PQ8 display is eliminated.
- Made in Sweden.
