10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
100
10.6 MSR (Option: Engine braking control)
402423-01
The
MSR
is an optional auxiliary function of the engine control.
If the engine braking effect is too great, the MSR prevents the rear wheel from locking or
sliding away on a sloping position.
To avoid slip of the rear wheel, the
MSR only opens the throttle valve as far as absolutely
necessary.
The
MSR is applied on surfaces, where the friction is to low to open the anti
‑
hopping
clutch.
To further increase ride safety, the
MSR is slope dependent.
Info
When the ABS or active Drive Mode Offroad ( p. 212) is switched off, the MSR is
not active.
