Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R Akrapovic with IRC quick-shifter

Checking out the IRC quick-shifter brought in by Motor Garage.

+Muhammad Harith Mohd Alauyun promotion price was MYR 1.2K now should be higher, it's all in, no extra item needed.

[@adamstratford6740]

awesome video even more awesome bike!!

[@TheTwinzx11]

this is probably the smoothest qs Ive seen. How did you get it to downshift without using the clutch? I couldnt get mine to do it. I had the dynojet qs system. I got the gp style sensor and woodlich gp reverse shift knuckle. I loved the gp shift only thing I had to press down firm to change gears unlike this one you are using, it seems simple. One thing I never had problems with was missed shifts, not one time!

[@thesighbored]

Not all QS works both ways. This one appears to be able to work both ways. The Translogic one I have does not work for down shift either.

[@QAnyui]

i though that the price was in hundreds range like 300 or 500 ringgit.

[@thesighbored]

Our Ringgit value is too shitty that's why stuff is expensive. Great job to the government.

[@thesighbored]

This is not something everyday or frequently done, just once for the video, if a few runs like this can destroy the engine and transmission, that's rather unlikely. Maybe if it was done all the time, then yes, probably screwed it up. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Bro, with this IRC quickshifter I can downshifts clutchless too ? Or in this bike some other things were done to proper downshifts?

[@thesighbored]

It is claimed to be able to do clutch-less down-shifts, no other devices installed on this bike apart from the QS.

[@flipporabasta]

i might have missed some of the info or comments written. but what brand is that QS? im looking for one 4 my 2009 zx-10

[@thesighbored]

It's IRC quick-shifter. You'll probably have to check to see if it's compatible, being a standalone unit I think it should be.

[@ykwong174]

I'm wonder installed this irc quick shifter then gear 1 no need to hold clutch??wont dead engine?? Then can directly up gear 2--3-4-5-6 ??

[@thesighbored]

You need to hold the clutch like normal when shifting from N to 1st, and when you're stopping.

[@ykwong174]

+TheSighBored that day you installed right?? Only available in zx model?? Er6n hv quick shifter??

[@thesighbored]

I have the Translogic, not IRC, you can check on their website if they have model suitable for the bike you have.

[@QAnyui]

I saw he let go the clutch quite quick but not getting stalled. But ho/why?

[@thesighbored]

It won't stall if you give it throttle.

[@QAnyui]

+TheSighBored But i saw he let off the clutch before he gave the throttle. Or maybe i was wrong

[@thesighbored]

It's on the stand so it still has enough power to roll the tire, so the engine doesn't stall.

[@MrMicheal8181]

Does all qs systems produce that flame? I just want the flame... dont need the qs function, i still love my clutch..

[@MrMicheal8181]

Anyway to make flame wo qs ?

[@thesighbored]

Installing a full system exhaust or modifying the exhaust pipe (removing catalytic converter) might also produce flames. A QS actually preserves your clutch since you don't need to use it that often.

[@MrMicheal8181]

TheSighBored let ne rephrase that.. I love USING my clutch ;) Anyway thanks. Will try it out. Ant tips on what to do if the exhaust and catalytic converter removal still dont produce flame?

[@thesighbored]

Well, manual clutch-less shift, if done right, is smooth and fun. Try it and you might just love that more. Usually clearing the pipes / full system with after market exhaust would produce flames, if the fueling turns out to be running rich. Running rich means excess fuel is not burnt, ends up out the exhaust pipes and due to the heat is ignited and thus you see the flame. Running too rich is not desirable as you waste fuel, and also the flames might hurt the exhaust valves. So actually, flames or no flames doesn't matter, what matters more is that the engine is running healthy else tuning should be done.

[@bioly_poland9580]

do you have a quickshifter irc connection diagram to zx10r? 4 plugs for ignition coils? to the throttle tps also something you need to connect?

[@thesighbored]

To be honest, I don't know how loud the sound is, we don't measure the dB, maybe you can try getting the information from Akrapovic, but Akrapovic exhaust usually are quite quiet at low/idle RPM, only start to get loud when the RPM get higher.

[@marc105]

that is okay if i just change the muffler with m4 and remove the catalyst without install the Power commander?

[@thesighbored]

It should be fine, if you are worried, get a dyno run done and check your fuel-air ratio, if it's running lean, then the valves will get damaged in the long term. Other than PC, you can opt to re-flash ECU.

[@gunnarulset]

Can someone please tell me how the quick shifter works?

[@thesighbored]

A quick-shifter modifies the sparking/rev of the engine when you shift the gear (up), it is the same as what you would physically do when you perform a clutch-less up shift. See the starting part of this clip to understand clutch-less shift. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip-1gayIqttraJY When you do clutch-less up shifts, you close your throttle for just a tiny fraction of a second while kicking the gear up and resume opening your throttle. The quick-shifter does this electronically (and much faster than manual), so you don't have to close your throttle as you would for a clutch-less shift.

[@harrissbk1020]

[@NOORYOUNIS]

How does this work up and down

[@thesighbored]

Magic! Just kidding. :D Honestly I don't know the exact mechanical stuff involved but my guess is that the bike itself has some semi-slipper clutch function so it's possible. If someone that can better explain it knows, do share!

[@d1sturb3d119]

+Z33NY It electronically restricts ignition for a split second so there is no load from the motor on the transmission allowing for the gearbox to shift. It's the same as clutchless upshifts on a stock bike with no quickshifter. Same thing I do on my CBR. This makes it more precise. Down shifts on some bikes have a rev match feature which is better. Otherwise it uses the slipper clutch to mitigate the engine braking and prevent sliding. Some bikes have adjustable engine braking modes to reduce lock up as well.
