This vehicle has two main transmission activation modes.
- SEQUENTIAL
- AUTO-DRIVE
The rider shifts gears when in SEQUENTIAL mode.
When in sequential mode, gears can be shifted by operating the handlebar controls
or by the traditional pedal without the need to operate the clutch.
03_23
The foot gear selector is a traditional one, quick when sudden downshifting is required,
mainly used in semiautomatic mode.
The buttons are quicker to operate and it is not necessary to decelerate when shifting.
shifting gears is very quick.
When the gear is in sequential mode, the words SPORT GEAR and the gear number
are displayed in the instrument panel.
The SPORT GEAR mapping has no power limits, and is suitable for sporting appli-
cations.
When in AUTO-DRIVE mode, gear shifting is automatic; riders only need to operate
the throttle and the brakes.
Gear are shifted continuously, truly suitable for riding in the city or for tours.
When the transmission is in AUTO-DRIVE mode, another mode can be used when
braking or decelerating: the SEMIAUTOMATIC mode. This mode can be used if the
rider wishes to downshift several gears or wishes to have more engine braking when
at an emergency braking or special manoeuvres.
When in AUTO-DRIVE mode, if the GEAR DOWN button is pressed, the mode
changes to semiautomatic mode. In this case, besides the word DRIVE, the display
03_24
also shows the gear.
