Quick Shift operation procedure
1. Set the MODE setting of “QS (Quick
Shift)” to “ON” on the instrument panel
display. For details, see “QUICK SHIFT”
on page 2-65
2. Squeeze the clutch lever and operate
the gearshift lever to change gears into
1st gear and move off smoothly.
3. When the shift change operation is to be
performed after the motorcycle starts
moving, do not use the clutch lever, but
move the gear shift lever.
• Even when the “Quick Shift” system has
been set, the gear shift lever operation
procedure is not changed from that
before the setting. If the shift change is
to be performed regardless of the setting
of “Quick Shift” system, move the gear
shift lever securely until the end of its
travel.
• When the shift change operation is to be
performed, the motorcycle adjusts the
engine speed according to the situation
at that time, so the throttle grip operation
is not required.
• The “Quick Shift” system is activated
when the engine speed exceeds 2,000 r/
min at shift up, 1,700 r/min at shift down.
• Even when the shift change operation is
performed continuously using the “Quick
Shift” system, the shift change operation
should be done correctly step by step.
• When the shift change operation is per-
formed without clutch lever squeezed
and with the throttle opening angle kept
constant, the “Quick Shift” system opera-
tion can be smoothly performed.
