An apparatus and system for actuating a manual gearbox, particularly of a motorcycle having a drive engine, and for carrying out a gear change while the clutch is engaged between the drive engine and the manual gearbox. The apparatus has a selector shaft, which can be actuated rotationally, and a gear-selector drum, which can be actuated rotationally. The gear-changing apparatus has a gear-change lever provided for actuating the selector shaft, and is adapted for influencing the output torque of the drive engine. One or more magnetic sensor(s), such as Hall effect sensors, are provided for sensing rotational actuation of the selector shaft and, optionally, for sensing rotational actuation of the gear selector drum. The sensor(s) send a signal to a controller and mechanisms known for affecting a change in gear to a lower or higher gear.
A gear-changing apparatus for actuating a manual gearbox of a motorcycle having a drive engine, and for carrying out a gear change with a clutch engaged between the drive engine and the manual gearbox, the gear-changing apparatus comprising a gearbox comprising a rotationally actuable selector shaft and a rotationally actuable gear-selector drum, and the gear-changing apparatus comprising a gear-change lever for actuating the selector shaft, wherein the gear-changing apparatus is adapted for influencing the output torque of the drive engine, the gear-changing apparatus further comprising a Hall effect first sensor device for detecting directly the rotational actuation of the selector shaft, and a second sensor device for detecting the rotational actuation of the gear-selector drum, and wherein the gear-changing apparatus is adapted for reducing the output torque of the drive engine as a function of a sensor signal from the first sensor device, and increasing the output torque of the drive engine as a function of the second sensor device, the gear-changing apparatus further comprising a support bearing provided at an end-face end portion of the selector shaft, the support bearing comprising a cylindrical body detachably fixable on the selector shaft, and the body having a mounting for detachable fastening thereon of a first magnetic device.
