TTR Ignition Systems - Quick Shifters & Launch Control

[DonTZ125]

Now in stock, and orders are shipping out!

Pricing:
Quick Shift Controller - US$75
Sensor - US$125 (comes with 2x 80mm rods, 1x 35mm LH/RH adjusting rod, 4x M6-RH nuts, 1x M6-LH nut); specify PUSH or PULL


A complementary product is a rev limiting switch that can be set to different limits. It can be used as a rev limiter (good for FZR600s using FZR400 TCIs ), as a launch controller (push the launch button, pin the throttle WFO, and feather the clutch - the revs will NOT go past your set launch limit until you release the button), as a shift light driver, or whatever your devious mind can envision.

Pricing:
Rev Limiter Solo - US$50 (stand alone unit)
Rev Limiter Dual - US$75 (stand alone unit)
Rev Limiter Plus - US$25 (built into QS controller)
Push Button - US$25 (for use with Launch Controller)


Instead of trying to duplicate and tap in between the ECU connectors, I decided it would be SO much simpler to use the rear brake and side stand switch connectors (not normally used on race bikes!) to access 12v, ground, and the 'safety' input used on Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Honda bikes. Unless these connectors have been cut off, I can offer plug-and-play installations for: CBR600F2/3/4 & CBR900; ZX-6, ZX-7 & ZX-11, EX250/500; FZR400/600/750/1000, YZF600/750/1000, R1/6, TZ125/250.

The Suzukis don't use a safety pin at the TCI to interrupt the spark, but rather have a relay that shuts off the whole works. Mechanical relays are not known for their accuracy for 50-100msec periods, nor their longevity under frequent and rapid cycling. I will provide a solid-state unit that plugs right in, and is tripped by the Quick Shift controller. At this point, I can provide plug'n'play units for all carb'd GSX-R600/750/1000; +US$10 for the extra component.

If your bike has any of these connectors removed, I can either offer a splice-in unit, or a set of matching pigtails to replace the cut-away parts (+US$5 for a set). All splice-in wires and replacement pigtails will be colour-matched for wiring, to make life easier.

For some models, the connector selection is a little confusing, so I may ask you to confirm which switch connector is which style - is it rectangular, is it hockey-rink shaped, is it two bullet connectors ...

So - who wants one?

EDIT - Prices are in USD; shipping is US$15. At today's exchange, a QS (US$75) and sensor (US$125) and shipping (US$15) = US$215 = C$275. My apologies for any confusion.

After the second or third person asked if these were legal for VRRA, I sent a note about the matter to the technical committee. I've just received an email from Mr. Greg McEwen:

Hi Don.
We on the tech committee discussed the electronics. Although we feel it's unnecessary to use this technology it will be permitted.
Greg

While I blinked at the term "unnecessary" (these are race bikes - EVERYTHING is unnecessary! ), I sincerely appreciate the definitive answer. I should point out that the classes I asked about were Period 3 Superbike, Period 4, and Vintage GP, sections 6, 7, and 8 of the VRRA rulebook, respectively. These devices were developed in the late '70s and marketed starting in 1980, so I doubt that a mid-60s Triton would be allowed to use them ...

Parts are in stock!

Do you have pictures of the quick shifters?

[DonTZ125]

I'll find the camera, and put some up today.

I've edited my first post, to correct a pricing error - silly me, I forgot this is a Canadian site. (Who knew?! ) Since most of my business is US and overseas, my pricing is in US Dollars. I realised talking to a postential client that when you simply put a value up on a Canadian site, people will assume you're talking C$. Oops ...

The price NUMBERS are correct, but I've added the US$ notation to each value. As of today's rates on XE.com, a QS controller (US$75) and a shift sensor (US$125) plus US$15 for the postman = US$215 = C$275. I don't know what Paypal uses for exchange rates; perhaps a few points more.

My apologies for any confusion.

I've been flogging these things for a month and a half now, and starting to make some sales and some very interesting inquiries. I figured it was time to finally put up some pics, and show you what the heck I'm actually talking about!

These are the shift sensors with the adaptor rods; you can do a bit of Lego with them. M6 threads; both ends of the sensor and the grooved end of one rod are double-threaded for LH and RH. For my own units I use a small 2-way connector; I do offer the 10-way SBK connector as a no-charge option
for people adding a QS sensor to their PC-3 or PC-V boxes.



I also do semi-custom installations. This is for a customer with a '91 TZ250B / 3YL, but will fit any year TZ125 or 250 from '89 on, and possibly older. It plugs into the VRR for power, and patches into the kill switch lead to cut the spark. Everything is plug and play with no splicing required, unless you've cut the plugs off, in which case I can offer splice-in pigtails with colour-coded wires that match the colours of the particular wires of your harness. The little white box in the lower right corner is the control unit.



And yes, it comes with the little screwdriver to adjust the spark cut time!
