An exciting new addition to the capabilities of the Power Commander is arriving now with the addition of a fantastic new quick shifter accessory.

Normally during "up shifting" you must roll off of the throttle and pull in the clutch in order to engage the next higher gear. In racing (both drag and road race) split seconds count. Rolling off the throttle, even slightly, slows your times and can be the difference between winning and losing.

The Dynojet Quick Shifter (DQS) allows full throttle, clutchless shifting. This is done by momentarily cutting the fuel to the injectors, which unloads the transmission. During this time, the rider can shift up to the next gear without rolling off the throttle or using the clutch.

The PCIII-USB incorporates all of the quick shifter functionality in with the main fuel controller and is fully programmable. No cutting or splicing of your bike's wiring harness is necessary.

The amount of "kill time" is adjustable by the user via the provided software. The user can also set a minimum rpm for the system to function. This keeps the system from activating at too low of an rpm, such as low speed road riding.

There are three basic choices of switches that can be used to activate the DQS:

• Shift Rod Pressure/Tension Sensor - This universal sensor mounts in the shift rod. The customer must provide the appropriate "length and thread" shift rod. This sensor is available in both "push" and "pull" styles depending on the direction the shift rod moves during an up shift. For most applications, a Shift Rod Kit is available.
   
• Linear Travel Sensor Kit - For applications where a bike does not have a shift rod, or the Shift Rod Sensor will not fit, we offer a Linear Travel Sensor. One end of this sensor is mounted to the shift lever itself and the other to a fix point on the chassis. This sensor is available in both "push" and "pull" style to suit all installations. A universal mounting kit is included.
   
• Handlebar Mounted Switch - A handlebar mounted activation switch is offered for situations where a Quick Shifter sensor is not legal for a particular racing organization, impractical to fit, or not preferred by the rider. The button features gold plated contacts for durability and the least amount of electrical resistance. The CNC machined handlebar button bracket has been designed specifically to position the button for the most comfortable operation and accessibility during use. To use this type of switch, the rider must first slightly preload the shift lever, press the handlebar mounted switch, and then complete the shifter movement.

Each Dynojet Quick Shifter Kit includes instructions and software that activates your Quick Shifter through your Power Commander III USB.

Established in 1972, Dynojet Research is the world leader in the development of Motorcycle Jet Kits and Fuel Injection products.  Team Suzuki Australia use Power Commanders to fine tune their Australian Superbike Championship winning Superbikes.

For 2004 both the Yamaha and Kawasaki American Superbike Teams are using the Power Commander IIIr with the Quick Shifter (DQS) option.  Power Commander units are already available for the 2004 Kawasaki ZX-6RR, 2004 Yamaha YZF-R1 and 2004 Kawasaki ZX-10R.
