inflation pressure tester at the
filling station.
Example
According to the rider's man-
ual, the tire pressure should
have the following value:
36.3 psi (2.5 bar)
The following value is shown
in the multifunction display:
33.4 psi (2.3 bar)
Missing is thus:
2.9 psi (0.2 bar)
The tester at the filling station
shows:
34.8 psi (2.4 bar)
To produce the correct tire
pressure, this must be in-
creased to the following value:
37.7 psi (2.6 bar)
Shift assistant
with gearshift assistant Pro OE
Pro shift assistant
Your motorcycle is equipped with
a Pro gearshift assistant originally
developed for racing but now
specially 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
gearshift assistant can execute a
new gear change. The load fac-
