Hi looking for some advise on a ducati quick shifter fitted to a 1098 i just bought . Wanted to know what the letters and numbers around the dial stood for the abcde 12345 etc ? theres a push switch and what looks like a couple of lights can anyone help me with understanding what they do Regards JAKZ
There are several models by several different makers, to help we must know which model you had fitted on, a picture better than thousand words (Ducati itself had it from 2 different makers)... From your description I guess is the performance The dial set the time the device cut spark ignition to let the next gear in, due to the loss in torque resulting from the cut itself. Here is the link to installation/user manual of this QS http://store.proitalia.com/downloads/instructions/ISTR-228.pdf
Klemmax Thats very helpful thank you I just need to read it a few more time digest it and put it into practice . It is the same QS as mine apart from my dial and buttons are on the side of the unit !! I did move the dial up to 4 from zero but didnt hold the button (s) in to activate the mode programme . so probably have gained nothing , but as i am just trying to find out how it works thats not a bad thing . So as I understand it I can set the sensitivity by the dial and the cut off by the switch (s) ? pressing the switch four times for four hundredths of a second and so on ? so factory is 500th so 400th is quicker ?
Be a bit careful playing with timing. You're setting the cut off time, so the time the engine stay off (by cutting current to sparks) and it is set to 5 hundredths of seconds. If you use your bike both on the road and on track I wouldn't lower that time (I would instead probably raise it to 6 o 7 hundredths) due to the fact you must always complete gear shifting in that time. If using it you woldn't be alble to get the gear shifted you have to raise the time, if the gear enters and the bike seems to be still off you could lower it. Be aware that lowering the time doesn't means automatically a quicker shifting, but you must be quicker with shift lever to complete gear shifting maneuver before the engine switch on again - if not you're going to stress the gearbox in hard way
Ok I think as road track use will be more road than track I will leave it at O setting and see how it goes from there as for road use that seams the better setting, to be on the safe side thanks again the down load is very helpfull
