CORDONA PQ8 215 Combo Quickshifter, Stand-Alone Quickshifter for various MV Agusta Models

Product details

Cordona 215 PQ8 Combo Quickshifter, stand-alone quickshifter kit consisting of module, sensor, wiring harness and gear rod (132 mm), for various MV Agusta models (see compatibility list)

General description

Electronic full-throttle upshifts, seamless acceleration – whether for racing motorcycles, streetmotorcycles, 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 further accessories are required.
- Easy to revert to original condition.
- Supplied with a universal gear rod (6 mm internal thread). This may need to be shortened to the correct length depending on the footrest system used. Further gear rods in different lengths are available, see accessories.
- Built on advanced GP technology and completely computer-controlled by means of 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 driving condition. The interruption time is adjustable between 40-80 milliseconds.
- During the shifting process, it simulates stable engine operation towards the ECU, allowing for a smooth and stable upshift. This generates no error messages and does not lead to an unintentional lean or rich mixture formation.
- Integrated “Smooth Shift” to reduce load peaks on the transmission and chain. Furthermore, the loss of traction during upshifting is minimised, similar to MotoGP quickshifters. During the upshifting process, all cylinders are cut simultaneously; 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, therefore can also be used for reverse shifting.
- All functions can be easily and effortlessly programmed directly at the racetrack or on tour, without additional devices, 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 used; 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 coil-on-plug ignition coils, the +12V power supply is taken 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 eliminated.
- Automatic on/off switching controlled by speed. Fully adjustable to prevent unintentional engine shutdown by shifting into neutral during idle speed.
- Audible signal generator for acoustic feedback during function test 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 shifting speed can be reduced to be deliberately 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 blinking dot then indicates that the system is ready. Very useful when a battery pack is used to power the quickshifter. Most of the power consumption is on the PQ8 display.
- Made in Sweden.
