Temperature compensation
The tire inflation pressure is
temperature dependent, i.e.
it increases or decreases to-
gether with the tire air temper-
ature. The tire temperature is
dependent on the outside tem-
perature, the riding style and
the length of the journey.
The tire pressures
are shown in the TFT
display with temperature
compensation and are always
based on the following tire
air temperature:
68 °F (20 °C)
Tire pressure gages at gas sta-
tions do not make any adjust-
ment for the air temperature,
the tire pressure indicated de-
pends on the temperature of
the air in the tire. As a result,
in most cases the values dis-
played there do not match
the values shown in the TFT
display.
Tire pressure adjustment
Compare the RDC value in the
TFT display with the value on
the back cover of the operat-
ing instructions. The difference
between the two values must
be compensated with the tire
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 dis-
played in the TFT display:
33.4 psi (2.3 bar)
Missing is thus:
2.9 psi (0.2 bar)
The tester at the filling sta-
tion shows:
34.8 psi (2.4 bar)
To produce the correct
tire pressure, this must be
increased to the following
value:
37.7 psi (2.6 bar)
GEAR SHIFT ASSISTANT
with riding modes Pro OE
Shift assistant Pro
Your motorcycle is equipped
with a Pro gearshift assistant
originally developed for rac-
ing but now specially adapted
for touring use. It allows you
upshift and downshift under al-
most any load conditions and
in virtually all engine-speed
ranges without operating the
clutch or accelerator.
