Member Contributer AnikMankar Posted July 5, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted July 5, 2010 Added the Raptor Shift light over the weekend. Wiring done as follows.. 1) Power : Didnt want to take chances with anything related to engine so tapped into the "Black/Red" wire heading to the Flasher. Its a direct power source from fuse#3. 2) Ground : took it straight to the frame 3) Pulse : connected to the coil. 4) Launch Mode : Wire left it open (not connected to anything) One QUERY - WHAT is the difference between LAUNCH mode and SHIFT mode ? - Anyone used this feature.

Member Contributer Knife Posted July 5, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted July 5, 2010 I wonder if you could hot-wire your seat so that you got a jolt in the arse when you reach a shift point? Then you could keep your eyes on the road where they belong, and never miss a shift. (J/K, sorta) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you want one.....and whether you prefer to be shocked or just nudged.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one ? I believe 'launch' is when starting from a dead stop... meaning you probably wouldn't want to rev the bike to 10,500 and drop the clutch.. you might want to launch from like 6k and go... then you'd want regular shifts where you are running up to the top of your powerband for shifts from then on out.

I know you're the electronics guru, but this is really a viable option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer AnikMankar Posted October 5, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted October 5, 2010 So what settings have you all kept the Shift light at ? SHIFT LIGHT @ 5900 x 2 = 11800 RPM LAUNCH RPM @ ? LAUNCH LIMIT @ ? Was wondering if i could use the LAUNCH RPM to check the correct idle speed @ 1200 RPM as disabling this is easy.

Member Contributer arrow Posted September 26, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hello guys, I've installed a shiftlight/knock sensor combo on my bike. I'm a bit confused as to where to draw the pulse for the shiftlight function though. As far as I understand it is connected to the ground wire of the ignition coils. I'm just adding a scan from the service manual to make sure I understand correctly. So is this where the pulse is taken from (for the shiftlight)? It seems there are two seperate ground wires on the coil, which one would I choose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer AnikMankar Posted September 28, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 28, 2012 You could also tap on to the rpm wire at the pcm ...check the wiring diagram to which wire to tap to. Also i had to alter setting at the raptor. I think i have it on my posts where. Let me check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer AnikMankar Posted October 2, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted October 2, 2012 You need to tap into the green/yellow wire ...the pulse from the rpm is totally different from the one you get at the coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
