Shift lights


Gotmils?

Recommended Posts

Anybody running these on there banshee Im asphalt I can ride I'm just wondering if anyone is running them seems like they could be helpful

 

That's funny it seems to be the misconception. If you have a shift light you can't ride. Hell, I don't give a shit if people think I can ride or not.

 

30 plus years of asphalt motorsports, all my junk has shift lights. We put it on our asphalt quad, it stayed on when hill racing & is put to good use on 300' sand dirt drags.

 

It has provided a very good advantage on 300' because the majority don't use them. Properly used they provide very good information.

OK, getting a few questions on this. I really don't like getting into the electronics of our bike. Mainly because I suck at them. I have no wiring diagrams & only know the basics. LOL!

 

This is for a programmable dyna ignition. You need the programing software to make this stuff work. The ignition does a lot of neat things, but their (Dyna) customer service absolutely SUCKS! The shift light requires a small 12v battery. We use a Auto Meter Quick-Lite Shift Light. It's a 2 wire hook up. One lead to 12v + & one to the Dyna accessories wire. There are 3 different ones on the ignition to do different rpm activations.

 

Now, while you are doing this using a Dyna ignition. You might as well hook up the launch limiter. This requires a switched clutch lever. It's a two wire hook-up, of course I have no diagram.

 

Lastly don't ask about the Dyna shift counter/shift kill. Dyna was no help in hooking it up. A buddy & I figured it out. It requires a relay to make it work & no I don't have a wiring diagram. LOL!

 

As for the other guys not using the programmable Dyna. Sorry, can't help much. I have a hard enough time with my own electronics.

 

I'm not promoting Dyna one bit. All this stuff had to be figured out with backyard engineering. Their Customer Service/Engineering Dept. SUCKS!

Nice write up but I was kinda pushed away from the launch limiter due to the fact of them bogging off the line maybe there's wasn't hooked up right or maybe the track was hooking hard or maybe it was the clutch but I am not a guru to all the electronic stuff but I am very interest in learning this stuff because I was thinking of building a real big motor but the bigger the motor doesn't mean you will win

A launch limiter requires tuning just like everything else. We manage low 1.30 60's with a launch limiter & the overall set-up.
