Power Commander and quicker shifters?

[Mental Trousers]

Would be nice, but I've got other things to do with €48,000.00 Euro. Soon as the Magical Money Fairy drops that off.

Makes the sub or around $20k NZD IMD250 look much more attractive eh?
Less than half the money for 85+% of the bike.
Buy a Honda NSF250 engine and an IMD250 kit and you have a Moto3 bike every bit as good (potentially at least) as the FTR for a fraction of the cost. The IMD250 will be in the same ballpark if it is not just as good.

As you were though.

[Mental Trousers]

Don't think you'd shoe horn a 735cc Husaberg single into the IMD250 frame Stevey. If you did manage it it'd probably look like a Pretzel once the engine fired up.

[steveyb]

Ahhh, yeah....
I was meaning the ahh, FTR Moto3 bike?

But, if the Husaberg is balanced OK it would be no worries. Just make the frame out of heavier guage tubing and Bob's your aunty.

[scrivy]

and Bob's your aunty.

No, he's my sidecar passenger.......

Right peoples, the shifter is on.....The factory setting seems to be .65ms of a cut for it to change....is this suitable for on the track??

I'm currently running mine at 80ms, haven't tried a shorter interval.

At 80ms it's perfectly fine - smooth, seamless shifts and the only thing I notice is the revs change when I prod the lever.

The only problem I've noticed is if I'm a bit undecided as to what my left foot is doing I sometimes bump the lever and it momentary cuts the ignition without changing gear. But that's a problem with the rider, not the shifter and it only happens at track days, not race days.

cool matey - im off to pmcc round 2 at taupo so ill try std there and go to .8 if its too tight! thanks heaps

You need to test it and change it for different circuits (optimally).
If the bike pitches when shifting then the duration is too long, if difficult to shift, it is too short.

You could have just bought a Translogic one with AST that does it all for you....Automatically adjusts the cut time depending on rpm's (not many shifters will do this) so you can short shift when needed without the bike pitching....

Sounds fantastic, however the price is around triple the cost of the PC one.... Its sucks that I can't justify purchasing products like this from good guys like yourself in NZ matey.

Generally the cut is longer in the lower gears, particularly 1st gear. From memory as a base .65 for first then ramp them down to about .45 for higher gears as there is less effort req to push them through.

If you know someone that has the software to activate the quick shifter in the Power Commander, all you need is to hook the Horn button to the correct pins on the expansion port (first and last) and you've got yourself a zero dollar quickshifter.
