    Okay, i've got a 1 2 3 Auto, slider, Dyna 4000,bars, shift minder etc I also have a Dyna shift counter.....everyone i talk to around here don't use an autoshift, they'd rather shift with a shiftlight & button etc. Wouldn't be more consistant if you'd make a bracket dragbike a autoshift or am i missing something


    Also, why don't the NHRA Prostock bikes run an autoshift And they leave w/ a clutch lever too right so are they using sliders or lock-ups


    Thanks

    autoshifters can make your bike more consistant. Rules limit the electronics on NHRA bikes. They also use lock-up clutches. Try concentrating on your 1-2 shift point to gain the most consistancy. Can't wait to race ya'.

    Note : PROPERLY SET UP


    I was running a simple autoshift setup on my S/C, just triggered by the shiftlight pulse. It worked beautifully when there was TRACTION. Otherwise the climb in rpm from spin will prematurely shift the bike. I have heard of timers being used to prevent this, something I'm going to look at.
