The DQS with feature “ON” allows the rider to
upshift and downshift without using the clutch lever.
It includes a two-way microswitch - built in the lever
mechanism - that outputs a signal to the engine
control unit whenever the gearshift is operated. The
system works in a separate way for upshifting and
downshifting, and combines the action on ignition
advance and injection, available in the upshift
system, with controlled throttle opening for
operation during downshifting. Extent and duration
of these actuations aim at ensuring excellent
engagement smoothness under any riding
condition; system works in synergy with slipper
clutch during downshifting.
The user can decide whether to activate only the
upshift feature or both up and down features of the
