Info
The launch control is deactivated automatically for a few
seconds after the vehicle has started.
The launch control is also deactivated in the following cases
(malfunction indicator lamp no longer flashes): if the throttle
valve is closed more than 1/3 of the way after full throttle,
and/or if there is no start within 3 minutes.
For safety reasons, the engine must be switched off for at
least 10 seconds before the launch control can be activated
again, regardless of whether the vehicle has been started or
not.
If the engine has already been running for some time, the
engine must first be restarted before the launch control can
be activated.
8.4 Activating traction control (MC 450F TROY LEE DESIGNS)
Info
The traction control reduces excessive slip on the rear wheel in favor of more control and propulsion, particularly in
wet conditions.
When traction control is switched off, the rear wheel may spin more during high acceleration and on surfaces with
low grip.
Traction control can be switched on or off during the ride.
The setting most recently selected is activated again when restarting.
