Took my bike in for the 1,000 km service last week. Shift Assist Pro was working fine on the way in but wouldn't work while riding home afterward. I called the dealership who said that it couldn't have been anything that they did. At that point they also told me that there is a service bulletin out for part of the unit coming loose. They couldn't do the work until they received a special tool from BMW which finally arrived today. I'll take her in tomorrow and hopefully it's a quick fix. So if you got this option, give your dealer a call to ask about getting it checked out.

Do you have an update?
It doesn't sound like they did the recall. Sounds to me they did a software update, parts not software is replaced for this recall. I'd check back with them concerning the recall. I think the new software upgrade isn't a good one for the Shift Pro. I had the software upgraded to fix the rear heated seat recall and turn on the LED driving lights, I don't think mine shifts as smoothly as before either.

The parts to fix the recall are out there so no big deal but getting dealer to do the work under the stop ride is a bigger question.
I think the Shift Pro is one of the best features on the bike, I?m glad I have it but the memory is starting to fade since it's been a while since I was able to enjoy

I discovered on mine that it likes to upshift above 2nd when I am opening the throttle (accelerating) and likes to downshift down to 2nd while I am rolling off the throttle but not at the point where the throttle is yet closed. I don't mess with 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 1st as she doesn't respond well. If I am at a steady speed the upshift is "strange" and sometimes I get a bit of a lurch. When I am downshifting, I have to apply quite a bit of pressure if the throttle is closed but if I am still rolling off, it is smooth as silk with very little pressure.
It has been a long day so hopefully my rambling makes sense...

Thanks it does. But say when one has multiple downshifts entering a corner the option of rolling off the gas only works for the first down shift.
BTW I have used your roll off technique with other bikes including my GT loaner. Result works like Shift pro .
Same thing happened to mine. It took a software patch to fix it. It still doesn't work as well as before the work was done, but since I've been without it for 10 weeks I'll leave it until the 6,000 km service.
Mine works fine after the recall fix. They just replaced a bolt a very small one. The recall says it wasn?t torqued correctly at the factory. IMHO they must have over tightened it stretching it out, that?s why it?s replaced. How this affects the performance of it I don?t know and would be surprised if it did. Sorry but it looks like it?s time to go back to the dealer

My SAP never worked properly from the start and then stopped working.First repair attempt noted improper voltage at the SAP on computer. New SAP was ordered second attempt, the installed voltage test normal at SAP but not working. After 3 hours of TS the tech through the problem to BMW support.
I will call the shop this AM and suggest they get the so called unlock code for SAP. Or have them try switching between ride modes to see if this helps.90 % of the time I am in Dynamic mode. Quite concerned at this point.
