Manual or Automatic: The Choice is Yours
Riders have the flexibility to choose between two distinct modes:
- Manual Mode: In this mode, you can shift gears up or down using “+” and “-” buttons on the switch cube. Yamaha boasts that this system is even faster than conventional quickshifters, allowing you to focus on the road ahead.
- Automatic Mode (D and D+): The system takes over the shifting duties in automatic mode. Choose “D” for smoother shifts at lower revs, or “D+” for a sportier riding experience with more aggressive gear changes.
