Changing the riding modes
A mode change involving func-
tions in the engine management
system and the ASC system is
possible only when drive torque
is not applied to the rear wheel.
In order to achieve this state,
the motorcycle must be at
a standstill with the ignition
switched on,
or
the throttle twistgrip must be in
the fully closed position.
Shift assistant Pro
with Pro shift assistant
OE
Your vehicle is equipped with a
shift assistant, a system originally
developed for racing and now
adapted for the touring sector. It
permits upshifts and downshifts
without declutching or closing
the throttle in virtually all load and
rpm ranges.
Advantages
70-80 % of all gearshifts on a
trip can be done without using
the clutch.
Less relative movement
between rider and passenger
because the shift pauses are
shorter.
It is not necessary to close the
throttle valve when shifting un-
der acceleration.
When braking and downshifting
(throttle valve closed), engine
speed is adjusted by blipping
the throttle.
Shift time is shorter than a
gearshift with clutch actuation.
In order for the system to identify
a request for a gearshift, the rider
has to move the shift lever from
its idle position in the desired dir-
ection against the force of the
spring through a certain "over-
travel" at ordinary speed or rap-
idly and keep the shift lever in
this position until the gearshift is
completed. It is not necessary to
increase the force applied to the
gearshift lever while shifting is in
progress. Once the gearshift has
completed the shift lever has to
be fully released before another
gearshift with the Pro shift assist-
ant can take place. When shift-
ing gears with the shift assistant,
the rider has to keep load state
