There are five core Race Tools products that we offer: Quickshifters, Autoblippers, Pit Speed Limiter, Engine Warm-up and Launch Control. Not all models have Race Tools products available, and not all Race Tools products will be available on all models. To install Race Tools on your motorcycle, you will need to have the Race Tools key activated on your ECU, with a Woolich Racing flash.
Quickshifters and Autoblippers
Quickshifters and Autoblippers both use a load sensor on the shift rod, but refer to two different operations.
A Quickshifter allows the bike to shift up in gears without needing to use the clutch or roll off the throttle by either cutting ignition or cutting fuel to the engine.
An Autoblipper allows the bike to shift down in gears without using the clutch, or without having to open the throttle manually by using the bike’s ETV (Electronic Throttle Valve) to 'blip' the throttle for you.
An Autoblipper is only possible on models that use a ride-by-wire throttle, ie. the throttle is controlled electronically by the ECU. This is common on most modern motorcycles, and allows the combination of Quickshifter and Autoblipper in a single product. If the bike uses a cable throttle, it can only be offered with a Quickshifter (ie. no Autoblipper possible).
We have two different sensors for the Quickshifter product; the GP Switch sensor, which is for Quickshifter-only models, and the GP ASG analogue sensor, which is for models that offer both the Quickshifter and Autoblipper.

Launch Control
Launch Control (LC) can be used as part of a Race Tools Package, or purchased as a standalone key. Depending on the model of bike there are different adjustment possibilities. Launch control is activated when the bike is stationary in first gear with the throttle closed, with the clutch in, and when the launch delay time has been reached.
When using Launch Control, it is important to remember that you still need to control the clutch, and that LC will not prevent a motorcycle from lifting the front wheel.
Pit Speed Limiter
The pit speed limiter places a predefined limit on the RPM of the engine when the button is activated. This function requires the purchase of the additional pit speed limiter harness, and also requires a Race Tools key in order to activate it. The pit speed limiter is activated via this button when the bike is in 1st gear. For some models a standalone pit speed limiter and key are also available for purchase.

Engine Warm-up
Engine Warm-up is only offered on bikes that use an Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV) and is controlled using the Pit Speed Limiter button. Engine warm-up is activated when engaging the button while the bike is in Neutral.
RaceTools products availability for different models
To find out what RaceTools products are available on different models, go to the Products page on our website, select the model and year, and scroll down to the RaceTools section. If we do not have any RaceTools products for a model, send us an email to show your interest. The more requests we get on a model, the better the chance that we will develop Race Tools products for it.
Below is a the Race Tools section on the Products page for a 2017-2019 Honda CBR1000RR. For this model you can see that it has both the Quickshifter AND Autoblipper, pit speed limiter, engine warm-up and Launch Control. There is also a RaceTools key-only package for this particular model that can be purchased, since the bike already comes with a shifter sensor from the factory.
