****WARNING****
This Dual-Purpose Launch-Shift Light can cause damage to both you and your
motorcycle if not used properly.
There are few things to keep in mind and suggestions for this product:
•
•
•
•
•
The auto-shift function is active whenever the shift light illuminates. The launch
light activating will not trigger the auto-shift, but the shift light will trigger the
auto-shift output. When you make changes to your Shift RPM Setpoint, the
settings are then flashed back across the shift light. When this happens be sure to
have your toggle switch off, and your air shifter kill box and bottle pressure deactivated and turned off. If you fail to do this and change your shift RPM setting
this could result in the bike trying to shift the transmission multiple times rapidly
while sitting still. THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR
TRANSMISSION!!! For this reason, see the next item below.
Run the auto-shift wire (Black wire with female spade connector) through a
toggle switch before hooking it to your kill box triiger input and air solenoid ground wires.
This will allow you to manually turn auto-shift on or off.
When performing your burnout, it would be advised to turn the auto-shift off in
case you over rev during burnout, you don’t want the bike shifting into the next
gear during your burnout.
Never rev the engine to redline in neutral, if the shift light activates and your
toggle switch is on it will try to shift most likely resulting in transmission damage
as well as possibly throwing you off the bike.
It is my suggestion to leave your current shift button hooked up (horn button most
commonly used) in case the bike ever starts to wheelie and you need to short shift.
If you connect the horn signal to the same wire as auto-shift (after the toggle
switch) you will be able to hit the button and shift the bike manually earlier than
what auto-shift is set for.
If there are any questions or concerns on the operation or safety of this product feel
free to contact me at the phone number and email address listed on the cover page.
****WARNING****
Thanks for your purchase of the BoostBySmith shift light. As a special note, I have already programmed your light for you for the following setpoints: Number of cylinders: 2 (this is needed for Suzuki when using the tach signal wire yellow w/blue tracer Launch RPM: Wire) 5000 RPM Launch Window: 500 RPM (launch light will come on from 5000‐5500 RPM) Shift RPM: 10,600 RPM (keep in mind your tach will read about 11,200‐11,300 at this Setting as the stock Suzuki tach’s read very high. The biggest mistakes people make when hooking up my shift light’s are: 



Hooking into the wrong yellow with blue wire tach signal (its NOT the one at the large yellow connector over the left ram air tube, that’s +12V with high beam on). Its in sealed up harness where left ram air tube meets the frame. Setting number of cylinders wrong. Using the tach signal (yellow with blue tracer) you should be set to 2 cylinder mode. If you are using #1 coil ground you should be using coil on plug mode. Not understanding that the stock reads very high, so people usually go out and look at tach for exact setting and shift light doesn’t come on, you aren’t revving the bike high enough due to the inaccurate tach, set the light lower, or rev the bike further out. Hayabusa’s read 600‐700 rpm fast at redline. Some devices such as Wego datalogger being on the same tach wire as shift light can cause issues, move one of the 2 devices to #1 coil ground and reprogram number of cylinders to coil on plug if shift light or 1 cylinder for datalogger to alleviate this. For autoshift output: I have recently started adding a toggle switch to the shift light assembly (only if you have added autoshift output, this will allow you to enable / disable autoshift output. The short black wire with female spade connector is the autoshift output wire, this should be connected to the blue wire on a MPS kill box, white wire on a Cycle‐tek kill box, or on the white wire of a cycle‐tek ECU air shifter harness. This photo shows the optional toggle switch if you purchase autoshift output ON and OFF positions: The following photo’s show the location of the Euro connector, some people have trouble finding these, unless you cut it off the bike, its there on the headlight harness next to right turn signal (gen 1 hayabusa, and the small lights above headlight are plugged into it on gen 2 hayabusa’s). On gen 2 hayabusas you have to plug my shift light inline on the small light above headlight. Launch Light Setup Instructions
To set # of cylinders: Set dip switch setting to desired # of cylinders, then hold down
push buttons 1 & 2, then power the RPM switch up by turning the key on, continue to
hold the buttons until the launch light flashes rapidly, the setting will be flashed back to
you for verification. Note: Suzuki Hayabusa should be set to 2 cylinder mode for proper
RPM settings.
To set Launch RPM: Set dip switch setting to desired launch RPM, then hold down
button 2 until it flashes rapidly, the setting will be flashed back to you for verification.
This value is adjustable from 3,000 – 15,700 RPM in 100 RPM increments. In order to
see the launch light setting, you must pull the clutch lever in the entire time the settings
are being flashed back. Zero is display as two very quick flashes.
To set Launch Upper Window: Set dip switch setting to desired upper launch window,
then hold down buttons 1 & 2 until it flashes rapidly, the setting will be flashed back to
you for verification. This value is adjustable from 100-3,000 RPM and doesn’t need to
be changed when changing the actual launch RPM. For example, once you set the launch
window to say 500 RPM, no matter what you set the launch RPM to, the upper window
will always be 500 RPM higher than the launch RPM. Setting this value to 0 will allow
the launch light to stay illuminated anytime you are over the rpm set point (same as shift
light). In order to see the launch window setting, you must pull the clutch lever in the
entire time the settings are being displayed. Zero is displayed as two very quick flashes.
To set Shift RPM: Set dip switch setting to desired Shift RPM, then hold down button 1
until it flashes rapidly, the setting will be flashed back to you for verification. This value
is adjustable from 3,000 – 15,700 RPM in 100 RPM increments. Note: Zero is displayed as
two very quick flashes of the light. 10,600 for example would be displayed as:
1............pause.........two quick flashes for zero........pause.......1.2.3.4.5.6
Wiring:
The clutch signal wire must be tapped into if you have purchased a Launch Light. On the
Hayabusa, the switched clutch signal wire is on the left hand side of the bike in the taped
up harness as well as visible at the large yellow connector. The wire is black with a
yellow tracer. Align the wire in the yellow scotch lock connector and press down
firmly.
The tach signal wire must be tapped into if you have purchased a Shift Light. On the
Hayabusa, the tach signal wire is on the left hand side of the bike in the taped up harness.
The wire is yellow with a blue tracer. DO NOT mistake the other yellow wire with blue
tracer that is visible at the large yellow connector, this is NOT the correct wire. Again,
use the red scotch lock connector included and make sure it seats firmly.
The Auto-Shift wire (black wire with female spade connector) should be ran through a
toggle switch, then to your kill box triiger input wire (should be inline with horn signal wire.)
