The performance key allows the user
to access the full torque of the engine
as well as the top speed of the
vehicle.
This may be useful for riders who pre-
fer crisper throttle response, and for
environments where higher speeds
and greater acceleration are appropri-
ate.
For example, in wide-open
straight trails, operators may prefer
the performance key.

The normal key limits the vehicle
speed to 70 km/h (43 MPH) and 10%
torque reduction.
W Wo orrkk kke eyy
The work key allows for usage of
100% of maximum engine torque but
limits vehicle speed to 40 km/h (25
MPH).

This key may be useful for riders who
prefer more gradual acceleration, or
for riding in environments where full
speed and high acceleration are not
desirable. For example, in narrow,
winding trails, operators may prefer a
normal key.
