Delay Time

Nexus Series Firmware Help › Transmission › Torque ReductionUpdated Sep 2026

When the Nexus sees a gear change, it doesn't have to cut torque instantly. The delay time table sets how long it waits first.

What it's for

The Torque Reduction Delay Time table sets the gap between the moment the gear position sensor or switch reports a shift and the moment torque reduction is applied. It can be mapped up to 2D.

When you need it

Gear sensors don't always report a change at exactly the point where torque needs to come out. If the cut arrives early or late, shifts feel harsh or the reduction is wasted. A small delay lets you line the cut up with the actual shift.

What to check

  • Log gear position, RPM and the torque reduction state together, and compare when the cut starts against when the shift happens.
  • Change the delay in small steps and repeat.
  • Set the cut time and ignition offset alongside it; see torque reduction for the full function.
