tion until execution of the shift
is completed. No additional in-

crease in shifting force is nec-
essary during the gear shifting
process. After the gear change
is completed, the gear lever must
be fully released before the Gear
Shift Assistant Pro can execute a
new gear change. The load fac-
tor (throttle grip position) should
remain constant both prior to and
during execution of shifts using
the Gear Shift Assistant. Chang-
ing the position of the throttle
grip while the shift is in progress
can lead to cancelation of the
z
function and/or shifting errors.
No support is provided by the
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. Over-
revving is thus prevented.

not provide added support
when the engine speed would
fall below idle in the new gear.

Hill Start Control

with Hill Start Control
Hill Start Control relies on partial
ingetration of the ABS system
to prevent the motorcycle from
rolling back on hills, making it un-
ncessary for the rider to maintain
constant pressure on the brake
lever when starting on a slope.
When Hill Start Control is acti-
vated, pressure is generated in
the rear brake circuit to ensure
that the motorcycle remains sta-
tionary on a sloping surface. The
brake system's actual holding
pressure varies according to the
inclination angle of the slope.
