NOTE: The quick shift cannot handle every
shift change operation.
For example, you cannot perform the quick
shift in the following cases.
• When the engine rotation speed
exceeds the allowable rotation speed
(red zone) when gear-shifting down
• When the shift change operation is per-
formed by gripping the clutch lever
• When the rear tire is spinning exces-
sively
NOTICE
Failure to observe the following opera-
tional rules may result in damage to the
gearshift sensor and related compo-
nents.
• Do not disassemble the gearshift sen-
sor.
• Do not use organic solvents such as
part cleaners or gasoline on the gear-
shift sensor and related components.
• Do not subject the gearshift sensor
and surrounding areas to high-pres-
sure washing.
• When any of the parts related to the
gear shifting mechanism, are changed
or modified, the “Quick Shift” system
might not operate correctly.
NOTICE
Unlike automatic transmissions, the
“Quick Shift” system does not perform
the shift change operation automatically.
Operating the system in low gears with
very high RPM may place a high load on
the engine and transmission.
Perform the shift change operation your-
self according to the engine or motorcy-
cle speed.
