Electronic Semi Auto Gear shifting in a Motorbike Engined Car

[3GE Components]

Hi Luke,

There's a lot of information about shifters in the BEC pages of locostbuilders

http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?fid=23

between the two sites, there's no questions that can't be answered.

Kind regards

John

Well right or wrong I never used the clutch going up the box but then it was an LC headbangers bike anyway....

its perfectly acceptable to not use the clutch on upshifting on a bike engine, if you blip the throttle at the same time its kinder to the gearbox
unless like i had on my race bikes you had a "quickshifter" this allowed me to keep the throttle on the stop even when changing up
this was worth a few yards per lap

"Quickshifters" are not cheap tho, between £300 to £500 per kit.

If you are going that far get one of
these. They take a little getting used to but are the way forward.

IMHO

It may be worth seeing if you can drive a BEC first to see if you still think you do/don't need one. It may turn out to be a lot of expense for little gain if you only plan on using it on the road (IMHO)
