Important
rider notes
Must be read and understood by all riders
…
Blip will be activated under these conditions:
o
RPM is higher than 3000
o
Rear wheel speed is higher than 30kmh
o
Throttle grip is closed (less than 3%, engine slowing down)
o
Clutch is OUT (disabled when rider pulls in the clutch)
o
The time since the last blip must have been exceeded (0.35seconds)
o
There are no Blip Box diagnostics active (flashing LED)
o
Foot pressure is applied by the rider
The BLIP disengages the gearbox very much like a quick shifter in reverse, but your foot pressure
makes the gear shift, so make a positive movement just like you would when using the clutch.
For riders who use the slipper clutch excessively you may need to extend the primary BLIP duration to
give more time to close the clutch and make the gearbox reversal. Use WinBLIP software or consult
your dealer.
Never force the lever, the BLIP should make it smooth and easy. If you suspect the gear is not fully
engaged, pull in the clutch and check in a normal way.
Never try to make a clutch-free downshift while accelerating (like dropping a gear to overtake). In this
case the BLIP system will not work.
After each downshift blip, release the lever pressure to re-arm it for the next gear Blip change.
IMPORTANT
– When first plugged in you will see the LED blinking an error code for 30 seconds. This is perfectly normal
during the installation because the CAN connector provides permanent power to the module, and at this stage the bike is not
switched ON so the module cannot read some of the inputs correctly. The module also enters a self-calibration mode which lasts
approx. 20 seconds.
When the ignition is eventually switched ON this warning will go away and will not come back unless there is a real problem (refer
to blink code diagnostic section of the manual)
IMPORTANT
– During the initial power ON self-calibration the load cell Mv is automatically adjusted to 2.5v to correct for any
sensor drift. For this reason it is very important that there is no load applied by your foot or by ‘sticking’ linkages at the power On
stage. If you suspect that the load cell is out of calibration, turn OFF the ignition switch and wait 1 minute for a complete power
shutdown, then turn back on to re-start the self-calibration.
IMPORTANT
– Follow the wire routing exactly as described in the manual to avoid problems with signal interference.
Preparation
1. Turn off the ignition switch
2. Remove the seat.
3. Remove the battery cover plate
4. Remove the fuel tank
5. Remove the air box upper and lower sections to expose the throttle bodies
