Pro shift assistant
with Pro shift assistant
Your motorcycle is equipped with
the Pro shift assistant originally
developed in racing. It allows you
upshift and downshift under al-
most any load conditions and in
virtually all engine-speed ranges
without operating the clutch or
accelerator.
Benefits
70-80 % of all gear changes
can be performed without us-
ing the clutch.
Less movement between pilot
and pillion due to shorter gear-
change intervals.
Throttle does not have to be
closed when changing gear
under acceleration.
During deceleration and down-
shifts (throttle plate closed) the
system blips the throttle to ob-
tain the correct engine speed.
OE
Shifting times are faster than
when the clutch is used to
change gears.
For the rider's intention to
change gears to be detected,
move the gear lever previously
not operated against the force of
the spring by a certain amount
of "overtravel" in the desired
direction with a normal to
brisk action and hold in that
position until the gear change is
completed. A further increase
of the force applied to the
gear lever during the gear-shift
operation is not necessary. After
the gear change is completed,
the gear lever must be fully
released before the Pro Gear
Shift Assistant can execute
a new gear change. When
changing gear using the Pro
gear-shift assistance function,
the throttle setting (twist-grip
position) must be kept constant
before and during the gear-
change sequence. Changing the
accelerator twist-grip position
during the gear-shift sequence
may cause the function to abort
and/or the gear change to fail.
No support is provided by the
Pro Gear Shift Assistant during
gear changes made using the
clutch.
Downshifts
Downshifts are assisted up to
the speed at which the engine
reaches maximum rpm in the
gear to be engaged. Overrevving
is thus prevented.
