speed is adjusted by blipping

the throttle.
Shift time is shorter than a
156
gearshift with clutch actuation.
In order for the system to identify
a request for a gearshift, the rider
has to move the shift lever from
its idle position in the desired dir-
ection against the force of the
spring through a certain "over-
travel" at ordinary speed or rap-
idly and keep the shift lever in
this position until the gearshift is
completed. It is not necessary to
increase the force applied to the
gearshift lever while shifting is in
z
progress. Once the gearshift has
completed the shift lever has to
be fully released before another
gearshift with the Pro shift assist-
ant can take place. When shift-
ing gears with the shift assistant,
the rider has to keep load state
(throttle twistgrip position) con-
stant before and during the gear-
shift. A change in the position
of the throttle twistgrip during a
gearshift can cause the function
to abort and/or lead to a missed
shift. The shift assistant provides
no assistance for the gearshift if
the rider declutches.
Downshifting
Downshifting is assisted until
maximum rpm for the target
gear to be selected is reached.
This prevents overreving.
Maximum engine speed
max 14200 min -1
Upshifting
The shift assistant provides
no assistance if engine speed
drops below idle during an up-
shift.
Idle speed
