10.3 Launch Control (optional)
H02000-01
Launch Control is an optional vehicle electronics function.
Launch control adjusts the engine speed in order to achieve the best possible acceleration.
Launch control can be used for starting off for a maximum of three times in succession.
Launch control is temporarily deactivated after the third starting off in order to protect the
engine, transmission and cooling system from overloading.
Launch control is also deactivated if all conditions for activation are no longer met.
Launch control is enabled again in the following cases: the engine runs for at least three
minutes, the engine is switched off for 20 minutes or a distance of 1.5 km (0.93 mi) has
been covered.

Warning
Danger of accidents Launch control enables very powerful acceleration which may ask too much of a novice rider.
