WinBLIP -  Files 

 
The system is supplied with multiple base files that are split into folders specific to each bike and also the direction of the load 
cell.  
 
From the 

File

 / 

Open

 menu locate the 

Blip maps 

folder and select the appropriate base file.  

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

1.  This function is used to swap the 

load cell input over to a ‘switch’ input from the clutch for users who prefer not to use 

the load cell. It will however be necessary to change both the wiring and blip targets. 

 

2.  These values control the activation threshold for the Load Cell  

a.  Blip threshold Mv 

– above this the blip is triggered. Note the 50Mv hysteresis so it would be 2850 ON and 2800 

OFF. (example values only) 

b.  Up shift threshold Mv 

– below this the blip is triggered. Note the 50Mv hysteresis so it would be 2200 ON and 

2250 OFF (example values only) 

c. 

The signals must also be above the threshold for longer than the 10mSec validation time. 

 

3. 

The Blip Box generates a ‘switch output’ signal to replicate the original shifter switch on the R1, this is routed back into 
the ECU via the original shifter connector. 

a.  Most of the shifter controls are still maintained within the ECU as before but to avoid signal errors the Blip Box 

will generate a perfect signal lasting at least the latch time (default 200mSec) and avoid any other signals from 
the load cell for (default 400 mSec). Both of these can be adjusted but it is not normally necessary. 

 

4.  These parameters inhibit the Blip function 

a.  The throttle grip must be lower than 3%, this is fixed to avoid incorrect use. 
b.  RPM must be above 3000 
c. 

Rear wheel speed must be above 30kmh 

d.  There is a minimum time since the last blip request (from foot pressure) , default is 0.35 seconds 
e.  There is also these hidden inhibits: 

i.  Clutch pulled in removes blip. If this sensor is bypassed and shorted together you will not get a blip. 

ii.  Bike is already in 1

st

 gear or Neutral 

iii.  Blip box has an active diagnostic (blinking LED) 

iv.  Foot pressure has not been removed since the last blip
