![]() ![]() The electronic sensor design is more complex and expensive but other than the above-mentioned advantages, may also be more reliable since it has no moving parts. In comparison with the mechanical type these relevant features ensure a more accurate, error free, shift detection for after-market applications, depending on rider preference, use case and set correctly, do reduce wear on the transmission gear selection system. A dedicated micro controller, either purposely part of the sensor system alone or fully integrated in a quick shift module, normally has the flexibility to both set the required upshift direction (push / pull) and force sensitivity to detect the correct shift moment. The design is typically linear (rod mounted) but can also be rotative (axle mounted). Mechanical, linear, sensors typically close a micro switch at a factory preset force level in one particular direction only.Ī more versatile sensor design uses a strain gauge, which effectively allows to measure the actual level of the applied force in any direction. Depending on the shift linkage design the sensor specifically reacts either on a push or pull action. The shift action by the rider, results in an actuation force on the sensor. Typically, the sensor is mounted in a way that it is a functional part of the gear shift linkage. However, the method of sensing and reducing the load can vary. Working mechanism Īlmost all quickshifters, used for upshifts on motorcycles, work on the same basis a sensor detects the gear shift action, a microcontroller processes the data (and calculates the timing) and typically cuts off ignition momentarily, resulting in a reduction of the load at the transmission allowing the engine speed to match the transmission speed of the next gear and permit the gear to slip (and engage) into place. This can increase the safety and comfort of the vehicle and allow for faster gear shifting (usually shifting in less than 50 milliseconds) and is thus a popular performance enhancement for motorcycles. Now…depending on wut kind of aftermarket shift knob you get…just follow the instructions in the packaging to install the new shift knob.Īs for the shift boot…the best thing to do is get an OEM one cus the shift boot is on a rectangular frame that just snaps right onto the bottom of the shifter console.Quickshifter on a BMW S1000RR motorcycle.Ī quickshifter (or quick shifter) is a device that eliminates the need to use the clutch or throttle when shifting gears on a manual transmission. Once the wires are snipped…it should look like this:Įverything should be free to come off…so just pull all the pieces off and u will be left with this: i placed my OD switch on the panel right below my e-brake. if you want to preserve the OD function…u’d need to rewire it to another switch (u can buy this at radioshack). if you dont care about the OD button…just go ahead and snip it and wrap the ends with electrical tape. after you pry it apart…u should see the little board that the OD wiring is connected to. be careful! there is a spring inside for the OD button…and if u want to keep ur stock OEM shifter…u dun wana lose this tiny spring. there are little crevices in this piece…and u should be able to take a tiny screw driver…and stick it into the crevice and pry the piece apart. now im really sorry i didnt get a picture of this…but you should see that the OD wires are attached to this little white box thing. Once you have that piece off…the whole shifting mechanism should come apart….except its still attached to the OD wiring. take a flat head and push it into the crevice and pry it open. you can see that there is a big round piece that surrounds both the shift lock and the OD button. Next.find the shifter lock…the big button that you have to press each time u wana take the car out of park and put it into Reverse. ![]() it should come apart with ease…but they won’t come completely apart yet. then pull the handle and the shifter “head” apart by applying a little force. remove the two screws and the handle of the shifter should come loose. start by putting your shifter into lower gear so you can reach the two screws behind the shifter handle. ![]() Now we need to take apart the shifter itself. don’t pry too hard…u dun wana break the plastic. Now remove the piece that says P R N D 2 1 by taking a flat head and prying at the notches where the piece snaps in place. ![]() its only snapped in by some tabs…so just lift it and it will come right off. Start by removing the frame around the shifter console by lifting it from the base…right near where ur cup holders are. I know WTF_POGI has it, and prbly some other ppl as well… I got the Razo quick shift shown in this pic. First you need an aftermarket shift knob. ![]()
