SHIFTING

with Gearshift Assistant Pro
Gear Shift Assistant Pro
When downshifting using
the Pro Gear Shift Assis-
tant, the adaptive cruise control
is automatically deactivated for
safety reasons.
Engage the gears as usual
with the foot-operated
gearshift lever.
The Gear Shift Assistant pro-
vides assistance for upshifts
and downshifts, without the
rider having to actuate the
clutch or throttle grip.
This is not an automatic
gearshift system.
The rider is an essential part
of the system and decides
when to shift gears.
The sensor 1 on the gearshift
shaft detects the intent to
shift gears and triggers the
shift assistance.
If you are riding at a constant
speed in a low gear at high
OE
RPMs and attempt to shift
gears without clutch control,
it can cause a strong load-
change response.
BMW Motorrad recommends
only shifting gears with clutch
control in these riding situa-
tions.
Use of the Pro Gear Shift As-
sistant should be avoided at
RPMs within the speed limiter
range.
Shift assistance is not avail-
able in the following situa-
tions:
With clutch actuated.
Gearshift lever not in its initial
position
When upshifting with the
throttle valve closed (coasting
overrun) or when decelerat-
ing.
