DQS indicator
The instrument panel displays DQS status as
follows:
- if DQS is enabled, “DQS U-D” indication (both
upshifting and downshifting);
- if DQS is disabled, “DQS Off “ indication;
- if the DQS system or the control unit is in fault,
the “Err” indication;
- if DQS is in reduced performance mode, “DQS”
indication is displayed flashing.
The DQS with up/down feature 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 gearchange 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.
Here below are some tips that will ensure you
properly exploit this feature:
- The Ducati Quick Shift takes the same shift lever
operation as with vehicle not equipped with the
Ducati Quick Shift. Ducati Quick Shift is not
designed for shifting automatically.
- For any gearshift request (upshifting or
downshifting) the rider has to move the shift
lever from its idle position in the desired
direction against the force of the spring through
a certain over-travel, then keep the shift lever in
this position until the gearshift is completed.
Once the gearshift has been completed, the
lever has to be fully released in order to allow
another gearshift acted by Ducati Quick Shift. If
the rider does not move the shift lever up to end
