anyone have experience of this with carbs ??

I assume with a bike engine using injection it cuts the injectors +/or the spark >?  whereas with carbs only it must just cut teh spark ??

I'm fairly sure it cuts the spark on the injection models too. This is why you hear a slight pop when up-shifting.

Cutting the fuel is very hard to be smooth with, so I'm 95% sure it wouldn't do this.

it seems to work with carb too as they offer it for hayabusa fitted with carbs. It's cutting ignition not the fuel although I think you can set it up to control injectors also.

from their website:

The control unit momentarily "kills" the engine by disconnecting the ignition coils

For those wondering about Carb engines...

I have this on my 893 Blade westie. It cuts the spark at the coils - just found out as I'm removing mine at the mo in favour of a Pingel electric shift kit which is to go on the new Busa motor. I'm hoping to maybe utilise the downshift blip part but will wait and see how it goes...

Well this is a nice list forming - hopefully we can get a good ddiscount on 15 units. A list of sales like this is hard to say no to with business how it is at the moment.

Id be interested in one of these at the right money

anybody know how they compare to the trickshifter on the market.

They look near-enough identical to me.

Actually this gives me an idea. It's worth getting the quote based on 15, and then asking Trickshifter what they will do, then going back to flatshifter just like you do with your insurance quote.

This way we'll get the best possible price on the system.

I think thats a fantastic idea and ya never know with recent credit crunch we might get em dirt cheap.

As you ay they do look identical and if the quality is the same and if we can get them for 40quid a pop ill av 100.

Cheers boys :D

just back from a trackday and a little bit knackered so I'll update the list tomorrow but to give my view on the trickshifter/flatshifter discussion, and based on what I read, they are identical but the flatshifter unit tend to be better set-up from the "factory" making the install easier.

I wasn't at work today but I did ask graham the discount he could give for 10 and 20 units so I'll put his answer up on monday. ;)

As you say, anybody with a business today won't look down at an order of around £7,5k value!

can we make sure that all of the required rod ends etc are included in the deal. Just heard they don't come as standard.

Cheers

Paul.

ok, will ask ;)  But I would think that it might not come as standard because we don't all have the same linkage
