Operating Instructions

184 TECHNOLOGY IN DETAIL
Less movement between rider
and passenger due to shorter
gear-change intervals.
Throttle valve does not have
to be closed when changing
gear under acceleration.
During deceleration and
downshifts (throttle plate
closed) the system blips the
throttle valve to obtain the
correct engine speed.
Shifting times are faster than
when the clutch is used to
shift gears.
For the system to detect the
rider's intention to change gear,
the gearshift lever previously
not operated must be moved
against the spring force by a
certain amount of "overtravel"
in the desired direction with a
normal to brisk action and held
in that position until the gear
change is completed. A further
increase of the force applied to
the gearshift lever during the
gear-shift operation is not nec-
essary. After the gear change
is completed, the gearshift
lever must be fully released
before the Gear Shift Assis-
tant Pro can execute a new
gear change. The load condi-
tion (throttle position) should
remain constant both prior to
and during execution of shifts
using the Gear Shift Assistant
Pro. Changing the throttle po-
sition during the gear-shift op-
eration may cause the func-
tion to abort and/or the gear
change to fail. The Gear Shift
Assistant Pro does not provide
support when gears are shifted
with clutch control.
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

Upshifts
Upshifting is only possible
if the current RPM is higher
than the release threshold for
the next higher gear.
This prevents the idle speed
from being dropped below.
Idle speed

ating temperature)
