General Information

Warning
Continued
Hard acceleration and cornering in this
situation may cause the rear wheel
to spin resulting in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
All motorcycles are equipped with
Traction Control (TC). Traction control is
a system that helps to maintain traction
when accelerating on wet/slippery road
surfaces. If sensors detect that the rear
wheel is losing traction (slipping), the
traction control system will engage and
alter the engine power until traction to
the rear wheel has been restored. The
traction control indicator light will flash
while it is engaged and a change to the
sound of the engine may be noticed.
For information on the traction control
indicator light operation, see page 31.
Note
Traction control may not always be
active depending on the riding mode
selected.
Traction control and optimized cornering
traction control (if equipped) may not
function if there is a malfunction with
the ABS system. In this situation, the
warning lights for the ABS, traction
control and the MIL may be illuminated.
Optimized Cornering Traction
Control (if equipped)
Warning
If a fault occurs with the optimized
cornering traction control system, the
traction control disabled warning light
will illuminate and a message will be
shown in the display.
In this situation, the traction control
system will continue to operate but
without the optimized cornering
function, provided that:
- There are no other faults with the
traction control system.
- Traction control has NOT been
disabled (see Bike Setup on page 50
or Riding Mode Configuration on
page 47).
Care must be taken when accelerating
and cornering on wet/slippery road
surfaces to avoid rear wheel spin.
In the event of a fault, the traction
control disabled warning light may
be accompanied by the engine
management system malfunction
indicator light and/or the ABS warning
light.
Do not continue to ride for longer than
is necessary with any of the above
warning lights illuminated. Contact an
authorized Triumph dealer as soon as
possible to have the fault checked and
rectified.
Hard acceleration and cornering in this
situation may cause the rear wheel
to spin resulting in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
