Example
According to the rider's man-
ual, the tire pressure should
have the following value:
36.3 psi (2.5 bar)
The following value is dis-
played in the TFT display:
33.4 psi (2.3 bar)
Missing is thus:
2.9 psi (0.2 bar)
The tester at the filling station
z
shows:
34.8 psi (2.4 bar)
To produce the correct tire
pressure, this must be in-
creased to the following value:
37.7 psi (2.6 bar)

with Gearshift Assistant Pro
Shift assistant Pro
Your motorcycle is equipped with
a Pro gearshift assistant originally
developed for racing but now
specially adapted for touring use.
It allows you upshift and down-
shift under almost any load con-
ditions 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
OE
system blips the throttle to ob-
tain the correct engine speed.
Shifting times are faster than
when the clutch is used to
change gears.
For the system to detect the rid-
er's intention to change gear, the
gearshift lever previously not op-
erated must be moved against
the force of the spring by a cer-
tain amount of "overtravel" in the
desired direction with a normal
to brisk action and held in that
position until the gear change is
completed. A further increase of
the force applied to the gearshift
lever during the gear-shift op-
eration is not necessary. After
the gear change is completed,
the gear lever must be fully re-
leased before the Pro gearshift
assistant can execute a new gear
change. The load factor (throt-
