Product details

Cordona 218PEG PQ8 Combo Quickshifter, stand-alone quickshifter kit consisting of module, sensor, and wiring harness; for Aprilia
SMV 750 Dorsoduro, type SM, model year 2007-2015
SMV 900 Dorsoduro, type KB, from model year 2017-

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

General description

Electronic full-throttle upshifting, seamless acceleration - whether for racing motorcycles, street motorcycles, drag bikes, go-karts, cross-karts - essentially 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 additional accessories are required.
- Easy to reverse.
- Built on advanced GP technology and fully computer-controlled via 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 riding conditions. The interruption time is adjustable between 40-80 milliseconds.
- During the shifting process, it simulates stable engine operation to the ECU, thus allowing for a smooth and stable upshift. This generates no error messages and does not lead to unwanted leaning or enrichment of the mixture formation.
- Integrated “Smooth Shift” to reduce load peaks on the transmission and chain. Furthermore, during upshifts, the loss of traction, as with MotoGP quickshifters, is minimised. During the shifting process, all cylinders are shut down simultaneously; traction is reapplied 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 aviation standards.
- Very high-quality sensor based on strain gauge technology.
- Sensor operates on push and pull, therefore can also be used for reverse shifting.
- 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 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 straightforward.
- For vehicles with coil-on-plug 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. Simple installation, as additional cable installation for 12V power supply is eliminated.
- 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, for “drag racing” only, can be selected to automatically activate the quickshifter at a specific and adjustable speed. The rider only needs to pre-load the shift lever between shifts. Useful in “handicap” races where the rider must stay below the “break out” time. Additionally, the shift speed can 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. The majority of power consumption is eliminated from the PQ8 display.
- Made in Sweden.
