Changing engine management
and ASC functions is only possi-
ble when no drive torque is being
transmitted to the rear wheel.
To obtain this state,
the motorcycle must be
stopped with the ignition
switched on,
or
the throttle twist-grip must be
turned back.

Your motorcycle is equipped with
the gear-shift assistance function
originally developed for racing but
now specially adapted for tour-
ing use. It allows you to change
up or down in almost any load
conditions and rev bands without
operating the clutch or accelera-
tor.
Benefits
70-80 % of all gear changes
can be performed without us-
ing the clutch.
Less movement between pilot
and pillion due to shorter gear-
change intervals.
Throttle does not have to be
closed when changing gear
under acceleration.
When decelerating and chang-
ing down (throttle closed) the
engine speed is adjusted by
intermediate accelerator opera-
tion.
The gear-shift time is shorter
than when using the clutch to
change gear.
For the system to detect the rid-
er's intention to change gear,
the previously unoperated gear
lever has to be moved against
the force of the spring by a cer-
tain amount of "overtravel" in the
desired direction with a normal
to brisk action and held in that
position until the gear change is
completed. A further increase
of the force applied to the gear
lever during the gear-shift oper-
ation is not necessary. After the
gear change is completed, the
