The traction control system can
only be turned off by setting “TCS-
MODE” to “OFF”, using the MODE
switches. See page 5-3 for more
information on “TCS-MODE”.
When “TCS-MODE” has been set
to “OFF”, the traction control sys-
tem, SCS and LIF systems are all
turned off together.
WARNING

The traction control system is not a
su

. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may

d
especially slip-
pery surfaces.
When the vehicle power is on, the trac-
tion control system automatically turns
on. The traction control system can be
turned on or off manually only when
the key is in the “ON” position and the
motorcycle is stopped.
TIP
Set “TCS-MODE” to “OFF” to help free
the rear wheel if the motorcycle gets
stuck in mud, sand, or other soft sur-
faces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specifie
d
tires. (See
pa
g
e 8-15.) Usin

tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin

accurately.
SCS
The slide control system regulates en-
gine power output when a sideward
slide is detected in the rear wheel. It
adjusts power output based on data
from the IMU (Inertial Measurement
Unit). This system supports the traction
control system to contribute to a
smoother ride.
LIF
The lift control system reduces the rate
at which the front wheel rises during
extreme acceleration, such as during
starts or out-of-corner exits. When
front-wheel lift is detected, engine
power is regulated to slow front-wheel
lift while still providing good accelera-
tion.
