EAU76422
D-mode (drive mode)
D-mode is an electronically controlled
engine performance system. This mod-
el has three mode selections: “STD”,
“A”, and “B”.
WARNING
EWA18440
Do not change the drive mode while
the vehicle is moving.
With the throttle grip closed, push this
switch to change the drive mode in the
following order:
STD
A
B
STD
TIP
Make sure you understand each
drive mode before operating the
drive mode switch.
The current drive mode is shown in
the drive mode display (page
5-10).
The current drive mode is saved
when the vehicle is turned off.
Mode “STD”
Mode “STD” is suitable for various rid-
ing conditions.
This mode allows the rider to enjoy
smooth and sporty drivability from the
low-speed range to the high-speed
range.
Mode “A”
Mode “A” offers a sportier engine re-
sponse in the low- to mid-speed range
compared to mode “STD”.
Mode “B”
Mode “B” offers response that is some-
what less sharp compared to mode
“STD” for riding situations that require
especially sensitive throttle operation.
EAU76432
Traction control system
The traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when accelerat-
ing on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip (un-
controlled spinning), the traction control
system assists by regulating engine
power as needed until traction is re-
stored.
WARNING
EWA15432
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any motorcycle, ap-
proach surfaces that may be
slippery with caution and avoid es-
pecially slippery surfaces.
