Shifting Control, Quick shift (push type)

 

The quick shifter does not operate when you change from neutral to 1st but operates for all subsequent up shifts. It does not operate on down shifts.

Why will you do faster lap times with a quick shifter?

The key advantage is not that the quick shifter speeds up your gear changes (which it does), but that it elimates the need for you to roll off the thottle while changing gears which stalls the flow of air and fuel into your engine. Each time you stall this inlet charge by rolling off the throttle it takes a finite time to re accelerate this charge into the engine, which costs you precious horsepower for longer than the duration of the gear change.

What's in the kit?
1 x Quick shifter mechanism.
1 x 50 mm long 6mm diameter right hand threaded rod.
1 x 50 mm long 6mm diameter left hand threaded rod.
1 x 20 mm long 6mm diameter right hand threaded rod.
2 x 6 mm lock nuts.

Fitting
The quick shifter has an M6 female right hand thread in one end of the barrel and a M6 female dual right hand and left hand thread in the other end (yes surprisingly there is such a thing as a dual right hand and left hand thread.) Having opposite threads in each end of the quick shifter makes length adjustment quick and simple as you do non need to remove the either end of the quick shifter from the mounting points on our gear change mechanism to adjust the length.
 

How do these Quick Shifters work?
On a Transistor Controlled Ignition system, a current is fed through the primary winding in the ignition coil. This current creates a magnetic field around the secondary winding in the ignition coil. At the point needed to fire the spark plugs the current to the primary coil is abruptly cut, which causes the magnetic field to abruptly collapse. The collapsing of the magnetic field induces a very large voltage pulse in the secondary winding in the coil. This very large voltage pulse fires the spark plug.

On a CDI ignition system a sharp electrical pulse is sent to the primary winding in the ignition coil at the point needed to fire the spark plugs. This sharp pulse induces an instantaneous magnetic field around the secondary winding in the coil, which induces a large voltage pulse in the secondary winding in the coil the fires the spark plug.

When you operate the gear lever to change up gears the microswitch in the quick shifter opens.

• When used without a quickshift control unit.

  Unlike the more sophisticated strain gauge (transducer) units, you don't need any other hardware for this (if you have a single igntion coil). In this configuration the quick shifter is wired in so that when the microswitch closes it prevents the current to the primary side of the coil being cut by the ECU (or points on an early classic bike). In this basic configuration the ignition is simply cut for as long as you keep pressure on the gear shift.
  
  In this configuration one of the two wires is connected to your batteries negative side and the other wire of the quick shifter is directly connected to the negative connection on each of your ignition coil. 
  
  This mode of operation is suitable for use only on bikes fitted with TCI (also known as Magnetic Discharge Ignition systems). 
  If the bike has more than one ignittion coil you will also need to insertsome diaodes between the igntion coils.
   

• When used with eitehr an Ignitech CDI or TCI ignition unit. The Quickshifter is connected to the control unit rather than directly to the coils. This is a better optioon as the ignition cut time after the Microswitch is operated is programmable within the Ignition control unit.
  
  This mode of operation is suitable for use on both bikes fitted with CDI ignition systems and TCI ignition systems.
