Riding Mode
The rider can choose from 3 different preset bike
configurations (Riding Modes) and pick the one that
best suits his/her riding style or ground conditions.
The Riding Modes allow user to instantly change the
engine power delivery (Power Mode), ABS, DTC
settings and instrument panel graphics.
Available Riding Modes: Sport, Touring and Urban.
Within every Riding Mode, the rider can customise
any settings.
Power Mode
The Power Modes are the different engine maps the
rider can select to change power level and delivery to
suit his/her own riding style and surface conditions.
There are three Power Modes, one for each Riding
Mode:
-
LOW, with 'soft' power delivery;
- MED, with 'soft' power delivery;
- HIGH, with 'instant' power delivery.
Ride by Wire (RbW)
The Ride by Wire system is the electronic device that
controls throttle opening and closing. Since there is
no mechanical connection between the throttle
twistgrip and the throttle bodies, the ECU can adjust
power delivery by directly affecting throttle opening
angle.
