The shifter must also be returned to "normal" between shifts.

Picture a duck floating on a pond with a little gas.

I find that the advice given in the rider's handbook is spot on.

Constant load isn't constant speed. At a constant speed load will generally be quite low and upshifting poor using assist. I find the best way of using the shift assist is, changing up, have a good solid load on the engine, bike accelerating but throttle position open and fixed.

Assisted changing down I always have a closed throttle. I find that downshifting with any throttle opening is a no go with the shift assist. I often (usually?) change down with some throttle so then I use the clutch.

Generally my clutched changes are smooth as can be and my assisted ones at best slightly less so (they are definitely faster). I seldom need to use shift assist in practice. I like it most on overtakes. For me it's nice to have but I wouldn't miss it if it wasn't there.

on a recent trip to the Pyrenees i looked at my Nav 5 stats after a day's ride through the twisty switchbacks of the Tour De France routes and saw I had changed gear over 750 times...in one day... almost all with shift assist pro... many corners were 1st gear ones..... my foot and hand thanks you Mr SAPro !

I know I should "RTFM" but where is that data to be found in the NAV?

I agree. Very useful if you're looking for half a second round Mallory, but not really necessary on a sports tourer. I'm still not convinced that it will contribute much to gearbox longevity!

Yes Tony, I have been doing clutchless upshifting for a long time before quickshifters were common. Just cut the RPM for a fraction of a second before/while upshifting. Mostly for comfort and yes, not as fast as the quickshifetr, but I don't believe that is affects the longevity of the gearbox.

I think that hinges on the proficiency of the rider at using GSAP.
