Activating Launch Control
Info
The
Launch Control
assists the rider in optimally starting the motorcycle at the beginning of a race. The maximum speed
of the engine with the throttle valve fully opened (full throttle) is reduced. After the start, it is gradually increased up to the
maximum engine speed. The rider opens the throttle fully throughout this procedure. The clutch must be activated exactly
as it would be without an active
Launch Control
.
Condition
The motorcycle is stationary.
The engine is running at idle speed.
The transmission is in neutral.

, the engine must first be switched off for

Activating traction control
Info
The traction control reduces excessive slip on the rear wheel in favor of more control and propulsion, particularly in wet con-
ditions.
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.
