1. Manual/autoshift selector
2. Gear shift button
The autoshift mode activates a change
of gear in accordance with the engine
RPM and throttle opening. When au-
toshift mode is selected, just press or
release throttle lever.
On some occasions, it may be useful
or necessary to manually change the
gear selection. The electronic module
will allow the rider to override the au-
toshift mode by pressing the shift but-
ton to a lower gear or a higher gear.
The autoshift mode will be kept and
the shifting sequence will resume af-
ter shift is performed.
However, if the vehicle is used in
severe conditions, it is highly recom-
mended to use the manual mode (use
the gear shift button).
