Shifting Gears; Daytona 675 R Quickshifter (If Equipped) - Triumph Daytona 675 Owner's Handbook Manual

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Shifting Gears

1. Gear-change pedal
(Street Triple shown)
Close the throttle while pulling in the
6
clutch lever. Change into the next
5
4
higher or lower gear. Open the throttle
3
part way, while releasing the clutch
2
N
lever. Always use the clutch when
1
shifting gear.
Warning
Take care to avoid opening the throttle too
far or too fast in any of the lower gears as
this can lead to the front wheel lifting from
the ground (pulling a 'wheelie') and to the
rear tire breaking traction (wheel spin).
Always open the throttle
particularly if you are unfamiliar with the
motorcycle, as a 'wheelie' or loss of traction
will cause loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.

Note:
• The gear change mechanism is the
'positive stop' type. This means that,
for each movement of the gear
change pedal, you can only select
each gear, one after the other, in
ascending or descending order.
Do not change to a lower gear at speeds
that will cause excessive engine rpm
1
(r/min). This can lock the rear wheel
causing loss of control and an accident.
Engine damage may also be caused. Down
shifting should be done such that low
engine speeds will be ensured.
Daytona 675 R Quickshifter
(if equipped)
The Daytona 675 R is fitted with a race-style
quickshifter which will trigger a momentary
engine cut to allow gears to engage, without
closure of the throttle or operation of the
clutch.
The quickshifter will only operate for
up-changes and only then if the engine
speed is greater than 2500 rpm. The clutch
must be used for all other gear changes
cautiously, including stopping and pulling away.
The quickshifter will not operate if the clutch
is applied or if an up-change is attempted by
mistake when in 6th gear.
It is necessary to use a "positive" pedal force
to ensure a smooth gear change.
