Quick shifter

The quick shifter allows for full-throttle,
clutch lever-less, electronically-assist-
ed upshifts. When the shift switch de-
tects motion in the shift pedal (page
5-13), engine power and drive torque
are momentarily adjusted to allow the
upshift to occur.
TIP
 The quick shifter operates when
traveling at least 20 km/h with an
engine speed of 2000 r/min or
higher, and only when accelerat-
ing.
 It does not operate when the
clutch lever is pulled.
