Downshifting
Downshifting is assisted until
maximum rpm for the tar-
get gear to be selected is
reached. This prevents over-
revving.

Upshifting
The shift assistant provides
no assistance if engine speed
drops below idle during an
upshift.

HILL START CONTROL
(HILL START CONTROL)
Hill Start Control function
Hill Start Control is a pullaway
assistant that operates on the
partially integrated ABS system
to prevent the vehicle from
rolling back on a gradient,
without the rider having to
keep pressure applied to the
brake lever. When Hill Start

Control is activated, pressure
is built up in the rear brake
system to keep the machine at
a standstill on a gradient.
The brake pressure in the
brake system is dependent on
the gradient.
Effect of an incline on brake
pressure and drive-off
behaviour
If the motorcycle is stopped
on a gentle incline, only low
brake pressure is built up.
In this case, the brakes are
quickly released when driv-
ing off. The motorcycle can
be moved off more gently. It
is not necessary to turn the
throttle grip again.
If the motorcycle is stopped
on a steep incline, high brake
pressure is built up. In this
case, the brakes take longer
to release when driving off.
More torque is required for
driving off which also requires
the rider to turn the throttle
grip again.
Behaviour when the
motorcycle rolls or slips
If the motorcycle starts to
roll while Hill Start Control
is active, brake pressure is in-
creased.
If the rear wheel slips, the
brake is released again after
