The system works in a separate way for upshifting
and downshifting, and combines the action on
ignition advance and injection, available in the
upshift system, with controlled throttle opening for
operation during downshifting.
Here below are some tips that will ensure you
properly exploit this feature:
The Ducati Quick Shift takes the same shift lever
●
operation as with vehicle not equipped with the
Ducati Quick Shift. Ducati Quick Shift is not
designed for shifting automatically.
For any gearshift request (upshifting or
●
downshifting) the rider has to move the shift
lever from its idle position in the desired
direction against the force of the spring through
a certain over-travel, then keep the shift lever in
this position until the gearshift is completed.
Once the gearshift has been completed, the
lever has to be fully released in order to allow
another gearshift acted by Ducati Quick Shift. If
the rider does not move the shift lever up to end
stroke during a Ducati Quick Shift request, gears
may not be fully engaged.
Ducati Quick Shift provides no assistance for the
●
gearshift if the rider uses the clutch lever.
150
Ducati Quick Shift electronic shifting will not
●
activate when the clutch lever is pulled.
Ducati Quick Shift will shift down (downshifting)
●
only when the throttle control is completely
closed.
If the Ducati Quick Shift strategy does not work
●
properly, it is always possible to complete the
gear shifting using the clutch lever.
If the gear lever is held pressed up or down for
●
more than 30 seconds (even if just by accident) a
plausibility error can be memorised in the
electronic control unit and the Ducati Quick
Shift system could be disabled; in this case, to
reactivate the system, it is necessary to release
the lever, switch the instrument panel off, wait
for 5 minutes and switch the instrument panel
on again.
Ducati Quick Shift is designed to operate above
●
2,500 rpm.
No matter the gear engaged, downshifting with
●
Ducati Quick Shift (downshifting) only woks
below a set threshold, so as to avoid exceeding
the maximum rpm allowed when the lower gear
is engaged.
