The rider is the most important
part of the system and decides
when to shift gears.
The sensor 1 on the gearshift
shaft registers the gearshift
request and triggers shift as-
sistance.
When riding at a steady speed
in a low gear at high engine
rpm, an attempt to shift gear
without pulling the clutch can
cause a severe load-change
reaction.
BMW Motorrad recommends
disengaging the clutch for
shifts in these circumstances.
It is advisable to avoid using
the Pro shift assistant at engine
speeds close to the limits at
which the governor cuts in to
limit engine rpm.
Shift assistance is not available
in the following situations:
With clutch lever pulled.

Upshifts with the throttle valve
closed (coasting overrun) and
when decelerating.
When downshifting with throttle
valve open.
After a gearshift, you must fully
release the gearshift lever be-
fore the gear can be shifted
again with the Pro shift assist-
ant.
