Aprilia Quick Shift
It is a system that allows go up and down the gears without having to use the clutch
'and without changing the position of the throttle grip.
It uses the gear shift sensor signal on the gear lever to shift gears more quickly with
a lower decrease in rpm than a traditional gear shift as regards upshifting.
The system is only active above an engine speed: of approximately 3,000 rpm.
CAUTION

THE CLUTCH MUST BE USED FOR UPSHIFTS AT ENGINE SPEEDS BELOW
3,000 RPM.
CAUTION
THE SYSTEM IS ACTIVE WHEN SHIFTING UP ONLY WITH THE THROTTLE
OPEN.
It can operate when downshifting as long as all the required conditions are met, in-
cluding an rpm less than the maximum threshold, which varies according to the gear.
If the downshifting system is not available temporarily for some reason (e.g. RPM too
high, first gear engaged), the instrument panel icon will be orange.

function, and the chequered flag symbol appears on the digital display to confirm that
the function is active.
To deactivate the PIT LANE function, press the PIT button again briefly to the left or
