8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

Quickshifter
F03643-10
When the quickshifter is activated, you can shift up without actuating
the clutch.
Info
The quickshifter is not activated when shifting up from first to
second gear, and the clutch lever must be used when shifting up
instead.
Even if the quickshifter is activated, you need to use the clutch
lever to shift down.
Because there is no need to close the throttle grip, uninterrupted gear
shifts are possible.
The quickshifter uses the shifter shaft position to check whether or not a
shift should be initiated, and sends a corresponding signal to the engine
control.
If the quickshifter is deactivated, the clutch needs to be actuated in the
normal way for each shift.
