Quickshifter Install

Well for a change I'm posting something bike related!!!

For those that don't know a quick shifter is designed to allow you to change up through the gearbox without having to use the clutch or even let off the gas. It is a basic switch and when the circuit its connected (when pushed) it cuts the ignition taking load off the gearbox and allowing you to change gear as if you had the clutch pulled in.

Its very similar to the "clutchless" shift that alot of riders use just 100% effective and no need to roll off the throttle.

Bought a cheap(ish) Dynojet Quickshifter to fit the PC3usb I already have...

First hurdle... Dyno Jet don't make a quickshifter for the standard rearsets, so I just bought the aftermarket version 4-104 like the one below:



I started with trying to work out how the hell I would get it to fit and then started work on a "bracket" so looked into my tub of shit


Before finding


Cut it up abit to do a test fit


Cut hell out of it for another 30 mins and got



Before painting it to a nice smooth matt black...



Then I had to somehow attatch the other end to the gear arm itself so I set about drilling and tap/die (?) that



Finally I fucked about with the bracket I had made for a bit



Hid all the wiring and protected the "hot" places



Then done



Overall about 2 hours and alot of swearing....

Havent rode it yet but first impressions are good have had it up the box a few times on the stands and its crazy almost like it has just one gear!

 

you said it

 

Need one myself.

 

Haha its my shit phone believe it or not i still have an iPhone4 -_-

 

i would, all iphones take shit pics

if you're out tomorrow i'll give you 50p to start you off to a new camera:thumbsup:

 

If ya need someone to test it giz a shout :thumbsup:

 

I really don't understand how this wizardry works :s

But on the upside..... I've a slipper clutch

it's a strain gauge that cuts the ignition for say 50 milliseconds when you knock it up each gear, allowing a seem less gear changes
I think they are great fun and not just for the track

 

How does that work with timing though? And fuel maps? Or is it too small a gap to have an effect?

Definitely magic in my eyes

 

Mines set at 63ms timing is set via the PC3usb software

Whilst ignition is cut fuel still passes through the system so you get a nice blue flame on the upshift.

Ah right, so I can only be fitted to modern bikes rubbing ECU's?

 

No you can get mechanical QS but they cost alot
