Shift assistant Pro
NOTICE
Whenever the Pro shift assist-
ant shifts gears, cruise control
is automatically disengaged for
safety reasons.
Select the gears in the usual
way by using the foot-operated
gearshift lever.
The shift assistant assists up-
shifts and downshifts without
the rider having to pull the
clutch or close the throttle.
This is not an automatic-shift
system.
The rider is the most important
part of the system and decides
when to shift gears.
The sensor
1 on the gearshift
shaft registers the gearshift
request and triggers shift as-
sistance.
When riding at a steady speed
in a low gear at high engine
rpm, an attempt to shift gear
without pulling the clutch can
cause a severe load-change
reaction.
BMW Motorrad recommends
disengaging the clutch for
shifts in these circumstances.
It is advisable to avoid using
the Pro shift assistant at engine
speeds close to the limits at
which the governor cuts in to
limit engine rpm.
Shift assistance is not available
in the following situations:
With clutch lever pulled.
Shift lever not in its initial posi-
tion
Upshifts with the throttle valve
closed (coasting) and when
slowing.
After a gearshift, you must fully
release the gearshift lever be-
fore another gearshift with the
Pro shift assistant can take
place.
See the section "Engineering
details" for more information on
the Pro shift assistant.
