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)
The shortfall 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 Gearshift Assistant Pro OE
Gear Shift Assistant Pro
Your motorcycle is equipped
with the Gear Shift Assistant
originally developed for racing
but now specially adapted for
use in public highway traffic. It
allows you upshift and down-
shift under almost any load
conditions and in virtually all
engine-speed ranges without
operating the clutch or acceler-
ator.
Benefits
70-80 % of all gear changes
can be performed without
using the clutch.
Less movement between pilot
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
change gears.
For the system to detect the
rider's intention to change
gear, the gear lever previously
not operated must be moved
against the force of the spring
by a certain amount of "over-
travel" 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 necessary. After the
gear change is completed,
the gearshift lever must be
fully released before the
Pro Gear Shift Assistant can
