WARNING
New brake pads
Longer stopping distance, risk of
accident
Apply the brakes in good
time.
Tyres
New tyres have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various heel angles until the tyres
are run in. This running in pro-
cedure is essential if the tyres are
to achieve maximum grip.
WARNING
New tyres losing grip on wet
roads and at extreme bank
angles
Risk of accident
Ride carefully and avoid ex-
tremely sharp inclines.
Shifting gear
with shift assistant Pro
OE
Shift assistant Pro
NOTICE
Whenever the Pro shift assist-
ant shifts gears, cruise control
is automatically disengaged for
safety reasons.
Select the gears in the usual
way by using the foot-operated
gearshift lever.
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.
The sensor
1
on the gearshift
shaft registers the gearshift
request and triggers shift as-
sistance.
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 recommends
disengaging the clutch for
shifts in these circumstances.
It is advisable to avoid using
the Pro shift assistant at engine
speeds close to the limits at
which the governor cuts in to
limit engine rpm.
