Riding mode
Riding mode selection
Three riding modes enable the
motorcycle's characteristics to
adapt to the prevailing weather
conditions, the road and traffic,
and the rider's style of riding:
RAIN
ROAD
with Pro driving modes
OE
DYNAMIC
Each riding mode affects the
behavior of the motorcycle in a
different way. The ASC can be
switched off in each mode; the
explanations below always refer
to what happens when the sys-
tem is switched on. The last se-
lected riding mode is reactivated
automatically after the ignition is
switched off and on again.
The following rule always applies:
the more dynamic the selected
mode, the less assistance there
is from the ASC.
Therefore, consider the following
when selecting the riding mode:
the more dynamic the setting,
the greater are the demands on
the skill of the rider!
Throttle response:
In RAIN modes: restrained
In ROAD modes: direct
with Pro driving modes
OE
In DYNAMIC mode: dynamic
RAIN mode
The ASC system intervenes early
enough to prevent the rear wheel
from spinning. On road surfaces
with high to medium grip (dry
and wet asphalt to dry cobble-
stones) the motorcycle remains
very stable; movements of the
tail are clearly perceptible only on
slippery road surfaces (wet bitu-
men or wet cobblestones).
ROAD mode
The point at which the ASC sys-
tem intervenes is later than in
RAIN mode. On road surfaces
with high to medium grip (dry
and wet asphalt to dry cobble-
stones) the motorcycle remains
stable. Slight rear-wheel drift is
perceptible. Movements of the
tail are clearly perceptible on slip-
pery road surfaces (wet bitumen
or wet cobblestones).
with Pro driving modes
OE
DYNAMIC mode
DYNAMIC mode is the most
sports-performance mode.
The point at which the ASC sys-
tem intervenes is even later,
which means that even on dry
asphalt drifting is possible under
sharp acceleration when corner-
ing.
