CORDONA PQ8 217FI Combo Quickshifter, Stand-Alone Quickshifter for Ducati Monster 1200R 2016-

Product details

Cordona 217FI PQ8 Combo Quickshifter, stand-alone quickshifter kit consisting of module, sensor, wiring harness and shift rod (55 mm), for Ducati Monster 1200R, Type MA / MB, model year 2016-

General description

Electronic upshifting at full throttle, 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 fuelinjection. 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 a 20 MHz CPU. Programming via 2 tip switch system.
- Compu Shift, calculates the perfect interruption time for each upshift. With a selection of 500 interruption times, different engine ratios, acceleration, load, and engine speed are taken into account depending on the riding condition. The interruption time is adjustable between 40-80 milliseconds.
- During the shifting process, it simulates stable engine running towards the ECU, thus allowing for a smooth and stable upshift. No error messages are generated, and it 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 switched off simultaneously; traction is re-engaged 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 both push and pull, therefore can also be used for reverse shifting.
- 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 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 straightforward.
- For vehicles with stick 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 not required.
- Automatic on/off switching controlled via speed. Fully adjustable to prevent unwanted engine shutdown by shifting into neutral during idle speed.
- Audible signal generator for acoustic feedback during functional tests 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 needs to keep the shift lever preloaded between shifts. Useful in “handicap” races where the rider must stay under the “break out” 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 when a battery pack is used to power the quickshifter. The majority of the power consumption from the PQ8 display is eliminated.
- Made in Sweden.
