Riding Mode Selection
Warning
The selection of riding modes while the
motorcycle is in motion requires the
rider to allow the motorcycle to coast
(motorcycle moving, engine running,
throttle closed and no brakes applied)
for a brief period of time.
Riding mode selection while the
motorcycle is in motion should only be
attempted:
- At low speed
- In traffic-free areas
-
On straight and level roads or
surfaces
- In good road and weather conditions
-
Where it is safe to allow the
motorcycle to briefly coast.
Riding mode selection while the
motorcycle is in motion MUST NOT be
attempted:
- At high speeds
- While riding in traffic
- During cornering or on winding roads
or surfaces
- On steeply inclined roads or surfaces
- In poor road/weather conditions
-
Where it is unsafe to allow the
motorcycle to coast.
Failure to observe this important
warning may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
If traction control has been disabled in
the Main Menu as described on page 50
then settings saved for all riding
modes will be overridden.
Traction control will remain off
regardless of your riding mode
selection until re-enabled, or the
ignition has been switched off then
on again, or the MODE button is
held in to return to the default Road
mode (which enables the traction
control when the motorcycle is next
stationary).
If the traction control is disabled,
the motorcycle will handle as normal
but without traction control. In this
situation accelerating too hard on
wet/slippery road surfaces may cause
the rear wheel to slip, and may result
in loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Warning
If the ABS is disabled, the brake
system will function as a non-ABS
equipped braking system. In this
situation braking too hard will cause
the wheels to lock, and may result
in loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
