Mode changes
with Pro riding modes
When riding, you can change rid-
ing modes only when the follow-
ing preconditions are satisfied:
No drive torque at the rear
wheel
No brake pressure in the brake
system.
This is the status of the motor-
cycle when it is at a standstill
with the ignition switched on.
Under other circumstances, you
must proceed as follows:
Close the throttle twistgrip
Release the brake levers
Disengage the clutch.
The desired riding mode is ini-
tially preselected. The mode
change does not take place until
the systems in question are all in
the appropriate state.
OE The selection menu does not
disappear from the display un-
til the mode change has taken
place.

Shift assistant Pro
Your vehicle is equipped with
a Pro shift assistant, a system
originally developed for racing
and now adapted for the touring
sector. It permits upshifts and
downshifts without declutching or
closing the throttle in virtually all
load and rpm ranges.
Advantages
70-80 % of all gearshifts on a
trip can be done without using
the clutch.
Less relative movement
between rider and passenger
because the shift pauses are
shorter.
It is not necessary to close the
throttle valve when shifting un-
der acceleration.
When braking and downshifting
(throttle valve closed), engine
speed is adjusted by blipping
the throttle.
OE
Shift time is shorter than a
gearshift with clutch actuation.
In order for the system to identify
a request for a gearshift, the rider
has to move the shift lever from
its idle position in the desired dir-
ection against the force of the
spring through a certain "over-
travel" at ordinary speed or rap-
idly and keep the shift lever in
