Shift light flashing: engine<br />
speed too high<br />
Shift speed<br />
When the motorcycle is on the<br />
move, the shift light indicates the<br />
engine speed at which the rider<br />
should upshift.<br />
Shift light on: the engine is<br />
approaching the ideal speed for<br />
an upshift<br />
Shift light goes out: the engine<br />
has reached the ideal speed for<br />
an upshift<br />
The engine-speed thresholds<br />
and the way in which the shift<br />
light indicates the various states<br />
can be customised in the SETUP<br />
menu.<br />
Shift assistant<br />
with shift assistant OE<br />
Your motorcycle is equipped<br />
with a shift assistant evolved<br />
from motorcycle-racing technology;<br />
the shift assistant enables<br />
you to upshift in virtually all load<br />
and engine-rpm ranges without<br />
pulling the clutch or changing the<br />
throttle-valve angle. The throttle<br />
valve remains open to accelerate<br />
the motorcycle and upshift time<br />
is reduced to a minimum. You<br />
select the gear in the usual way<br />
by means of the foot-operated<br />
shift lever.<br />
Sensor 1 in the shift linkage registers<br />
the shift request and triggers<br />
shift assistance.<br />
When you are riding at constant<br />
speed with the engine revving<br />
high in a low gear, upshifting<br />
without disengaging the clutch<br />
can cause a severe reaction to<br />
the load change. <strong>BMW</strong> <strong>Motorrad</strong><br />
recommends disengaging<br />
the clutch for upshifts in these<br />
circumstances. It is advisable to<br />
avoid using the shift assistant at<br />
engine speeds close to the limits<br />
at which the governor cuts in to<br />
limit engine rpm.
