9.4 Quickshifter+ (optional)
S04186-10
If the QUICKSHIFTER+ is activated, you can shift up and down
without actuating the clutch.
Because there is no need to close the throttle grip, uninterrupted
gear shifts are possible.
The QUICKSHIFTER+ uses the shift shaft position to check
whether or not a shift should be initiated, and sends a
corresponding signal to the engine control unit.
If the QUICKSHIFTER+ is disabled in the combination instrument,
the clutch needs to be actuated in the normal way for each shift.
