Shifting gear
with Pro shift assistant
OE
Shift assistant Pro
Requirement
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.
NOTICE
See the section entitled "Engin-
eering details" for more informa-
tion on the Pro shift assistant.
NOTICE
Whenever the Pro shift assist-
ant shifts gears, cruise control
is automatically disengaged for
safety reasons.
You select the gear in the
usual way by means of the
foot-operated shift lever.
Sensor

on the selector shaft
registers the shift request and
triggers shift assistance.
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 re-
commends disengaging the
clutch for shifts in these cir-
cumstances. It is advisable to
avoid using the Pro shift assist-
ant 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, the shift lever
has to be fully released before
another gearshift with the Pro
shift assistant can take place.
Brakes
How can stopping
distance be minimised?
Each time the brakes are applied,
a load distribution shift takes
place with the load shifting for-
ward from the rear to the front
wheel. The sharper the motor-
cycle decelerates, the more load
is shifted to the front wheel. The
