If the quickshifter + is activated, you can shift up and down with-

Because there is no need to close the throttle grip, uninterrupted
gear shifts are possible.
The quickshifter + uses the shifter shaft position to check whether
or not a shift should be initiated, and sends a corresponding signal
to the engine control.
If the quickshifter + is disabled in the combination instrument,
the clutch needs to be actuated in the normal way for each shift.
