Model year 2008+ Buell XB9 and XB12* owners can now take advantage of the quickshift function that is built in to their stock, EBR or IDS ECMs with this quickshifter kit from Buelltooth.

Quickshifting means that instead of reducing throttle and using the clutch to up-shift, the ECM turns off the fuel and spark for a fraction of a second once an upshift is sensed. Simply hold a throttle position and shift! Shifts are smooth and instantaneous without putting increased strain on your drivetrain. A must for anyone that races and a LOT of fun on the street! You already have the function on your bike, so why not use it?!?

Installation is easy and plug-n-play since it is plugged into an existing connector on your bike. Does not require any permanent modifications. All stainless steel mounting hardware and detailed instructions are included.

A Buelltooth dongle is included for activation of the QS function in the ECM via the free Ecmdroid app available in the Google Play store. Tunes for various exhaust systems and ECM firmware versions are available for FREE. Simply submit your request and a file will be emailed to you. Don't spend $300+ on a new ECM when yours can be wirelessly programmed in seconds!

*Not compatible with Ulysses models.

This sounds really cool !

 

[Cooter]

Best mod ever, and thats cheaper than just the dynojet switch I got by itself!!!!

 

[njloco]

It's good I read the entire post, my SS is a 2007, and my 2008 is Ully, rat's !

Cooter can help you install with a dynojet switch on your bikes, for a quick shifter.

 

[njloco]

Thanks but, I was more interested in the whole package. I need a Bluetooth, and a tune for the 2007 SS, no biggie, I'll get them.

 

[vicenzajay]

Anyone here actually do this for their XB? I'm doing a good deal of reading, and this may be something I would be quite interested in doing....

Standard 2008+ eeprom will have that setting, correct (i.e. to allow the quickshifter function to work)?

 

[Cooter]

Any DDFI-3 ECM has it. XB, or 1125. You need to 'turn on' the function in the ECM. You can do that with ECMDroid. Heck even the wiring is already there!

It's super simple and HUGLEY worth it! So much fun.

 

[Silverrider]

I will second that ! It's super simple and HUGLEY worth it! So much fun.

Just to clarify: Does "2008+" mean including 2008 model year? I assume so since model year 2008 had the major upgrades.
I bought a 2008 XB12S this summer and I'm interested in some upgrades.

"2008+" could mean "model year >= 2008" or "model year > 2008".

 

[vicenzajay]

Ordered (direct from the website - better than the ebay link, to be honest)...I'll let everyone know how it works out, etc. once it gets here....

 

[gdisaac07]

Ordered as well. QS sounds like a lot of fun on these bikes.

It means model year 2008 and anything later. Yes, that includes your 2008. Get it and you'll like it!

Mine came in 4 days ago or so. I installed it today....took my time and routed the cable very neatly (I'm super anal about stuff like that). As a result, the install took a while.

Of note - you might need two washers for this unit to play nicely with your primary cover. The kit comes with one. This is noted in the youtube review of a prototype unit, so I was surprised at only one being in the package. If you're waiting for one to come in the mail - go get an extra 5/16 washer just in case.

Went for a ride after checking the function per the instructions (and the youtube installation guide). It is a *lot of fun. It is also *not seamless. The closer you are to WOT, the smoother and less jumpy the shifts will be for you. Of course that entails you winding up at pretty high speeds. WOT from 1st to 2nd to 3rd in a few seconds, and you're through 70 mph and heading north fast...just a word of warning for those wanting to do this on public roads frequented by law enforcement.

One more word on jumpy. I would be careful of upshifting with this mod at a decent lean and not well up on the throttle. The 'jump' as you slot into the next gear will compromise your contact patch.

 

[njloco]

I was going to get one for my SS, until I read the fine print, 2008 and up !
Good info you posted up, hopefully it saves someone from bad things.

'Jumpy' depends entirely on what you're doing when you shift, and the timing of the ignition kill. Maybe this will help:up:

It's not a complicated thing that uses an algorithm of sensor inputs to guarantee effortless shifting in all conditions....It is simply an ignition kill usually set up at 120ms. Thats it. You can change that kill timing using TunerPro or ECMSpy. With ECMDroid you can change fuel kill to fuel and spark kill in ECM parameters, see if that helps? If it's 'better' at higher RPM try shortening the timing a bit. Maybe 90ms?

What it's trying to do is kill the ignition (or fuel and ignition) when it senses up-shift pressure on the shifter so that the engine torque on the transmission is reduced for an easy upshift. It's just like clutches upshifting while rolling off the throttle (but without rolling off the throttle....).

Couple of notes for you if you're new to this:
First, every bike is different. You're experience will be different that the next guys... I've got some miles on Stella the STT, and it's a bit chunkier shifting than a lower mile 12S I ride. They have the same quick shifter and settings.

The standard 120ms setting is about as long as you want it to be otherwise you might have problems killing the engine shifting into neutral from first when at idle.

You can still use your clutch just like normal for normal riding. And you should. Don't bother clutches shifting (without rolling off the gas) unless you're at 6k rpm and accelerating hard.

Yes, you'll be going fast at WOT throttle banging upshifts. And I dare you not to smile!!!! I don't know how often you'll be dragging a knee and upshifting at WOT but I'd be careful trying that:upset:

Hope that helps, have fun!

edit: Ya, njloco. DDFI-3 only Any Buell -'08 and up. Bummer.

 

[vicenzajay]

Yeah - rode a good deal again today. It's fairly consistently jumpy in lower gears. Third to fourth and fourth to fifth are noticeably smoother. I'm only going to do this near WOT...that seems to be really the time when this applies.

Oh, there's certainly a smile....

Yeah - I think I need to tweak the timing settings. Is 90 ms relatively safe? I ask because everything online seems to indicate that you can get into trouble when setting the timing *too low.

 

[vicenzajay]

Yeah - I know that I really shouldn't use it in the lower gears, either, so I'll not be doing that anymore....just wanted to try it out, and I'm not at a track...

I do want to tighten the timing...once I get tuner pro and the cable working, I think I'll try 90ms and report back.

Cheers...

I forgot to add, that you can affect the shifting smoothness with the authority in which you activate your shifter. Between jamming it into gear and soft and lazy. Somewhere in the middle. It should go into gear very easily if your timings right.

I wouldn't jump to make that drastic timing change right away. Try +/-10ms increments until you like it. Maybe longer delay is what you need? It's hard to tell whats happening from this side of the computer screen

 

[vicenzajay]

Cooter - not sure the pm 'thing' is working, but I'm trying to figure out where in the overall bin file you set these timings.

I found an "array: shifter interrupt duration" with entries for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Is that it. If so, should the timings be constant throughout?
