Downshifting
Downshifting is assisted until
maximum rpm for the tar-

reached. This prevents over-
revving.

HILL START CONTROL (HILL
START CONTROL PRO)
Hill Start Control function
Hill Start Control Pro is
a pullaway assistant that
operates on the partially
integral ABS system to prevent
the vehicle from rolling back
on a gradient, without the
rider having to keep pressure
applied to the brake lever.
When Hill Start Control Pro is
activated, pressure is built up in
the rear brake system to keep
the machine at a standstill on a
gradient.
The brake pressure in the
brake system is dependent on
the gradient.
Effect of an incline on brake
pressure and drive-off
behaviour
If the motorcycle is stopped
on a gentle incline, only low
brake pressure is built up.
In this case, the brakes are
quickly released when driv-
ing off. The motorcycle can
be moved off more gently. It
is not necessary to turn the
throttle grip again.
If the motorcycle is stopped
on a steep incline, high brake
pressure is built up. In this
case, the brakes take longer
to release when driving off.
More torque is required for
driving off which also requires
the rider to turn the throttle
grip again.
Behaviour when the
motorcycle rolls or slips
If the vehicle starts to roll
while Hill Start Control Pro
is active, brake pressure is in-
creased.
If the rear wheel locks, the
brake is released again after
approx. 1 m. This prevents
the vehicle slipping with a
