Cordona 217 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, streetnmotorcycles, 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 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 reversal 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. Further shift rods in different lengths are available, see accessories.
- Built on advanced GP technology and fully computer-controlled via 20 MHz CPU. Programming via 2 tip switch system.
- Compu Shift, calculates the perfect interruption time for each individual upshift. From a selection of 500 interruption times, various engine conditions, acceleration, load, and engine speed are taken into account depending on the riding situation. The interruption time is adjustable between 40-80 milliseconds.
- During the shifting process, it simulates stable engine operation towards the ECU, thus allowing a smooth and stable upshift. This generates no error messages and does not lead to unintended leaning or enriching of the mixture.
- 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 upshift, all cylinders are switched off simultaneously; traction is re-engaged via a computer-controlled sequence, in conjunction with Compu Shift.
- Robust, waterproof housing and high-quality wiring harness. The circuit board is fully potted and equipped with a 26-pin connector to aviation standard.
- Very high-quality sensor based on strain gauge technology.
- Sensor works on push and pull, and can therefore also be used for reverse shifting.
- All functions can be easily and seamlessly programmed directly on 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 sport 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 CPU of the PQ8 quickshifter. Easy installation, as additional cable installation for 12V power supply is eliminated.
- 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 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 merely has 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 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 power consumption is attributed to the PQ8 display.
- Made in Sweden.
