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 on 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.
- Trouble-free reversal is possible.
- Supplied with a universal shift rod (6 mm internal thread). This may need to be shortened to the correct length depending on the footrestenanlage used. Further shift rods in different lengths are available, see accessories.
- Built on the most advanced GP technology and completely computer-controlled by means of a 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 ratios, acceleration, load, and engine speed are taken into account depending on the riding condition. The interruption time is adjustable between 40-80 milliseconds.
- Simulates stable engine operation towards the ECU during the shifting process, thus allowing a smooth and stable upshift. This does not generate any error messages and does not lead to unwanted leaning out or engreaseing 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. All cylinders are switched off simultaneously during the upshift; traction is reapplied by means of a computer-controlled sequence, in conjunction with Compu Shift.
- Solid, waterproof housing and high-quality wiring harness. The circuit board is completely 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, and can therefore also be used for reverse shift patterns.
- All functions can be easily and trouble-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 sport motorcycles, as well as Triumph and KTM vehicles [KTM Superduke R 2008 uses Beru ignition coils; 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, correspondinge 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 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 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 has 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 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 the power consumption from the PQ8 display is eliminated.
- Made in Sweden.
