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

Product details

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

The "PEG" products are used for motorcycles with shift levers that are connected directly to the transmission without a shift linkage.

General description

Electronic full-throttle upshifts, seamless acceleration – whether for racing motorcycles, street motorbikes, drag bikes, go-karts, cross-karts – basically 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 racing series worldwide.

Features:
- Stand-alone system: no additional accessories are required.
- Easy to revert to original setup.
- Built on advanced GP technology and fully computer-controlled with a 20 MHz CPU. Programming via a 2 tip switch system.
- Compu Shift calculates the perfect kill time for each individual upshift. From a selection of 500 kill times, various engine ratios, acceleration, load, and engine speed are considered depending on the riding condition. The kill time is adjustable between 40-80 milliseconds.
- Simulates stable engine operation towards the ECU during the shifting process, allowing for a smooth and stable upshift. This prevents the generation of error messages and avoids unintentional leaning out or grease of the mixture formation.
- Integrated “Smooth Shift” to reduce load peaks on the transmission and chain. Furthermore, the loss of traction during upshifts is minimised, similar to MotoGP quickshifters. During the upshift, all cylinders are simultaneously cut; the re-engagement of drive 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 connector to aerospace standard.
- 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 plug-and-play 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 uncomplicated.
- For vehicles with stick ignition coils, the +12V power supply is provided by 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 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 “breakout” time. The shift RPM can also be lowered 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 if a battery pack is used to power the quickshifter. Most of the PQ8 display's power consumption is eliminated.
- Made in Sweden.
