1. Place a tick in the 'Enable Quickshifter' checkbox
1. Clearing this checkbox disables the Quickshifter 
2. Select your Shift Direction
1. This enables you to choose between bikes with a normal shift pattern and those with a reverse (race) shift pattern
3. Set the Activation Pressure
1. The Activation Pressure is the minimum pressure required to initiate an engine cut during gear shifting 
2. The default setting is 3 and this works well for most bikes
3. Reducing the number requires less pressure to activate (1 is the softest setting)
4. Increasing the number requires higher pressure to activate  (10 is the hardest setting)
4. Set the 'Delay Between Shifts'
1. The 'Delay Between Shifts' is the minimum time between engine cuts in milliseconds
2. This is referred to as 'Next Shift Delay' in some prior versions of Race Tools
3. After the Quickshifter sensor is triggered the engine is cut and the bike shifts up a gear. The sensor will not trigger another engine cut until the 'Delay Between Shifts' has elapsed. 
4. Using a value under 100ms will result in a higher risk of a ‘double cut’ where the engine will cut twice in a row. 
5. The default is 300 ms
5. Ignition Cut and Fuel Cut
1. On some models it is possible to choose to use an Ignition Cut and/or Fuel Cut as shown below for a 2020 Honda CBR600RR
   
   
   
   
2. At least one of these options MUST be selected for the Quickshifter to function.  If neither is selected then the engine will not be cut during shifting, risking damage to the gearbox.  
3. Selecting Ignition Cut will kill the ignition when the Quickshifter is activated.  If Ignition Cut is not selected, the spark plugs will still spark inside the cylinders. 
4. If Fuel Cut is selected, then fuel will not be injected into the cylinders during the engine cut. If Fuel Cut is not selected, then fuel will still be injected into the cylinders even if there is no spark. 
5. Selecting Ignition Cut with no Fuel Cut can potentially increase pop and bang during shifting
6. The Quickshifter will only function if at least one of these options is selected.

Quickshifter Maps

1. Turn the ignition off so that the Quickshifter is powered off
2. Hold down both buttons on the Quickshifter module
3. While holding both buttons down, turn the ignition on
4. The LED's will first show some numbers (firmware version) and will then show the letters “UP” as shown in the image below
   
5. Release the two buttons and the letters 'UP' will flash indicating that the unit is ready to read the shift direction
6. Apply and hold pressure on the Gear Shift lever in the upshift direction e.g. if the bike is in 2nd gear, apply pressure in the direction of 3rd gear, hold the pressure until the small LED dot blinks once and the LED display then turns off
7. The Quickshifter should now be configured for the correct “UP” shift direction. 
8. You can test the activation by applying pressure to the gear shift lever, a small dot on the Quickshifter LED display will light up when the pressure applied initiates a shift.

• Autoblipper Activation

1. Place a tick in the 'Enable Autoblipper' checkbox
1. Clearing this checkbox disables the Autoblipper 
2. Set the Activation Pressure
1. The Activation Pressure is the minimum pressure required to initiate an engine blip during gear shifting 
2. The default setting is 3 and this works well for most bikes
3. Reducing the number requires less pressure to activate (1 is the softest setting)
4. Increasing the number requires higher pressure to activate  (10 is the hardest setting)
3. Set the 'Delay Between Autoblips'
1. The 'Delay Between Autoblips' is the minimum time before another shift can be initiated. 
2. Using a value under 100ms will result in a higher risk of the Autoblipper being activated twice before the foot has been removed from the lever
3. The default value for this is 300 ms and this typically works well for most bikes and riders 
4. Set the Minimum Activation RPM
1. The minimum RPM required to allow Autoblipper Activation
2. Quickshifters and Autoblippers work best at higher RPM and higher loads, so setting this value too low will likely result in jerky Quickshifts/Autoblips.
3. The default value for this is 3000 RPM and this typically works well for most bikes and riders
5. Preload Time
1. Some riders prefer to preload the gear shifter when riding to get smoother gear shifts and do this routinely, other riders prefer not to preload the gear shifter.  
2. Gear shifter preloading is totally a rider preference, this setting enables the preloading (if any) to be set up according to the riders preference.  
3. If this value is non-zero then the Autoblipper will not be activated  immediately in pressing the shift lever but instead requires that the lever is preloaded (ie. pushed in downshift direction) for a specific amount of time before the Autoblip occurs
4. If a non-zero value is used, this will require the gear lever to be preloaded in a consistent manner every time, otherwise the timing of the preload setting can feel inconsistent. 
5. If the rider does not preload the gear shifter in their shifting technique, or they experience inconsistent shifting, then we recommend setting the value to 0.

1. Max Ramp RPM or Release Speed is reached (depends on model)
2. Clutch lever is pulled in 
3. Gear shifter activated (ie. change from 1st gear)
