with gearshift assistant
Your motorcycle is equipped with
a shifting assistant developed
based on racing requirements. It
enables upshifting without actu-
ating the clutch or throttle valve
z
in virtually all load and engine
speed ranges. During accelera-
tion the throttle valve can remain
open, and the shifting time is re-
duced to a minimum. The gears
are shifted into as usual with foot
force on the shift lever.
OE
The sensor 1 in the shift linkage
detects the shift request and ini-
tiates shifting support.
When driving at constant speed
in low gears at high engine
speeds, upshifting without
clutch operation can result in
major load change reactions.
BMW Motorrad recommends
only upshifting with clutch
operation in these driving
situations. The shifting assistant
should not be used in the area of
the rev-limiter.
No shifting support is provided in
the following situations:
during shifting with engaged
clutch
during shifting with the throttle
valve closed (overrun)
during downshifts
