Try going back though the set-up procedure from step 1, did you by chance move the kill time adjust screw more than a 1/4 turn R or L? Adjustments should only be a 1/12th of a turn at a time. If all else fails, call 608-339-7999 ask for tech support. (Pingel)
Mine has worked like a champ for over 2 years now, should be something simple, don't give up. You'll love it when you get it worked out.

Works like a charm.
Thats one big ass chunk of aluminum for that actuator buttons , though.
Do they have a newer compact version do you suppose?

Bob, call Pingel at the number I listed and tell them you want to convert to the new smaller shift buttons. They will sell you one for around $85.00,when I got mine it also had the dime sized,black buttons. The new one is also a split design,so you don't have to remove your grip to installPM -->

08 BUSA, Just did a install today on NINJA KILLER's '07 black beauty, which has the new style kill box & shifter relay. Sorry if I got you lost when I refered to turning the screw R&L,as I now see there are 3 small switches to set shift kill time on the new box. His worked dead on right out of the box. Try setting kill time back to 90Ms, then if it doesn't hit the next gear, just move to the next setting,100Ms. Then 110Ms, and so on. Be sure that the cylinder is set in the middle of the up/down stroke in relation to your shifter position, the dark ring on the actuator should be at the bottom of the cylinder when at rest. Hope this may get you going Keep us posted and Good Luck

If you look at the rod coming out of the shift cylinder, there is a slightly darker area about midway on the rod. This shows center of the up/down stroke. With the rod attached to the end of the bracket you added to your shifter, loosen the clamp that holds the shift cylinder and move it either up or down so that the dark area on the rod is right at the opening of the cylinder.Tighten the clamps.
You may also check to be sure there is no bind or side load on the rod when you tightened it to the bracket you added to your shifter- loosen the allen bolt that holds the rod to the bracket, if there is a gap between the 2 parts, use the spacers supplied with your kit to shim the gap and retighten. Call Pingel and ask them to email you a set of new instructions, I'm sure they'll hook ya up

I'm so smart.....
I figured that one out, all by myself.
I also figured out that, Bench testing is almost impossible, as the mount also acts as a solid ground.
What are you guys using as the switched power source.
Currently I'm nooked up direct but, I don't like the idea of someone playing with the actuator buttons.

That bench testing thing was a pain in the a$$. Try a quik-splice to one of your taillightsI'm so smart.....

It's a low amp draw, strictly to activate the relay.
I'm sure a scotch lock would be fine.

Just like Bob said, and glad to help. Did that get everything working?

08 Busa,just wanted rule out the simple stuff. Is there any chance your changing your foot position when riding in the upper rpm range? Having your foot in the way can cause missed shifts, easy to do without knowing,did it myself several times. Next, when splicing into the coil leads, did you splice into the gray wire or the colored wires? What is you kill time set at now?
Foot is out the way, i spliced into the multi colored wires and kill time is at back at 90mls.

Other than adding kill time, everything else checks out. Set it at 140mls just to see if you get it to shift,if it does,start by removing kill time 10mls at a time working your way backwards. If it won't shift at max kill time it may be defective
110MLS is the highest and 40mls is the lowest. 40mls would be the quickest kill time right?
