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 exe-
cute a new gear change. The
load factor (throttle grip position)
should remain constant both prior
to and during execution of shifts
using the Pro Gear Shift Assis-
tant. Changing the position of
the throttle grip while the shift
is in progress can lead to can-
cellation of the function and/or
shifting errors. No support is
provided by the Pro Gear Shift
Assistant 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 -1
Upshifts
The Pro Gear Shift Assistant
does not provide added sup-
port when the engine speed
would fall below idle in the new
gear.
Idle speed
1150 min -1 (Engine at operat-
ing temperature)
Brake system with
BMW Motorrad Integral
ABS
Partially integral brake
Your motorcycle is equipped with
a partially integral brake configu-
ration. Both front and rear brakes
are applied simultaneously when
you pull the handbrake lever.
The footbrake lever acts only on
the rear brake.
The BMW Motorrad Integral ABS
adapts the braking force distribu-
tion between the front and rear
wheel brake to the loading of the
motorcycle during braking with
ABS control.
Spinning of the rear wheel
with the front brake applied
(Burn Out) is prevented by the
integral function. The result may
be damage to the rear wheel
brake and the clutch.
Do not attempt Burn Outs.
