Auto Shifting Up/Down

Post by panhandle »

Hi all,

Had my RBR 3 days now and looking to get to grips with the manual shifting mode, and just wanted to see at levels the R auto shifts up and down gears. I have been a little inept with the shifting so far and dont want to do any damage to it without having clocked up even 100 miles!! Help and advice on the best way to be a hero paddle shifter!!

Cheers

ps the whole r experience is a completely overwhelmingly jizztastic.

Just drive it as you would a manual with changes up and down at the same time.

You won't do any damage as there are a number of safety precutions built in so you can't over rev the engine or stall it.

Yep it does take a few days to get the hang of it but as Bob says just change at the same time as you would normally in a manual.
