Pro shift assistant

with Pro shift assistant

Pro Your vehicle is equipped with

a gearshift assistant originally de-

veloped for racing but now spe-

cially adapted for touring use.

It allows you upshift and down-

shift under almost any load con-

ditions and in virtually all engine-

speed ranges without operating

the clutch or accelerator.

Benefits

70-80 % of all gear changes

can be performed without us-

ing the clutch.

Less movement between pilot

and pillion due to shorter gear-

change intervals.

Throttle does not have to be

closed when changing gear

under acceleration.

During deceleration and down-

shifts (throttle plate closed) the

system blips the throttle to ob-

tain the correct engine speed.

Shifting times are faster than

when the clutch is used to

change gears.

For the system to detect the rid-

er's intention to change gear,

the previously stationary gear

lever must be moved in the de-

sired direction against the force

of the spring and with a certain

amount of "overtravel" at a stan-

dard to rapid travel speed, and

then maintained in this posi-

tion until execution of the shift

is completed. No additional in-

crease in shifting force is nec-

essary during the gear shifting

process. After the gear change

is completed, the gear lever must

be fully released before the Pro

Gear Shift Assistant can execute

a new gear change. Pro When

the gear is changed using the

gearshift assistant, the throt-

tle setting (twist-grip position)

must be kept constant before

and during the gear shift. Chang-

ing the position of the throttle

grip while the shift is in progress

can lead to cancellation of the

function and/or shifting errors.

The gearshift assistant Pro does

not provide support during gear

changes made using the clutch.

Downshifts

Downshifts are assisted up to

the speed at which the engine

reaches maximum rpm in the

gear to be engaged. Over-

revving is thus prevented.

Maximum engine speed

max 9000 min
