How do quickshifters work?

[mossy1200]

I would presume it would have a reasonably strong push so I could mount it close to pivot point to get the free play. Not something I have ever played with so interesting.

Thanks for that.

Yes but think of the solenoid pulling it in fully then when you push button you de-energise the soliniod coil making the spring fire it upwards shunting the shift lever up.

Best quickshifter I ever used was Peter Fatiolofa.

Sniffle.

He was best with pianos

I built a couple of "shifters" for Junior Drag bikes a few years ago - used a truck starter motor solenoid triggered by a button on the bars. Had an electronics mate who cobbled an ignition cut out triggered by the same switch. Always thought about having a switch which reversed polarity on the solenoid to work it both ways so that it could down shift as well (Drag bikes don't have much need to change down!) If you go electric watch the polarity of the ignition system!

Pingel are fucking rubbish compared to the decent stuff like translogic

they are talking about something to move a gearlever for a paraplegireno (which is was the pingel was invented for), not a full on race shifter for lazy cunts.

I have a tuono v4r aprc with a quick shifter and it's brilliant when carving up twisties and as far as I know it momentarily shuts the ignition while shifting without clutch and man the noise is great !

That is one option. This one a guy in England will make for us. The lever turns with the unit.

Mines no good. Kills tyres in 2tho km and wheelies a lot. Does burnouts leaving corners also.
I have managed to tame it now and run my bike in rain mode.

Is that an MB unit?

MB? Not sure what that is?

MB Developments, Mark Broadhurst, been turning out trick bits for Lambrettas for ages and I thought it looked a bit like his racing gear change.

There are a few options out there which fit 22mm bars for scooter racing applications.
