be fully released before another
gearshift with the Pro shift assist-
ant can take place. When shifting
gears with the Pro shift assistant,
the rider has to keep load state
(throttle grip position) constant
before and during the gearshift.
A change in the position of the
throttle grip during a gearshift
can cause the function to abort
and/or lead to a missed shift.
The Pro shift assistant provides
no assistance for the gearshift if
the rider declutches.
Downshifting
Downshifting is assisted until
maximum rpm for the target
gear to be selected is reached.
This prevents overrevving.
