Caution
Do not stop the engine using the
ignition switch or engine start/stop
switch whilst the motorcycle is moving.
Stopping the engine by turning off the
ignition or engine start/stop switch
when the motorcycle is moving may
cause damage to motorcycle
components.
Traction Control (TC)
Warning
Traction control is not a substitute for
riding appropriately for the prevailing
road and weather conditions. The
traction control cannot prevent loss of
traction due to:
Excessive speed when entering turns
Accelerating at a sharp lean angle
Braking.
Traction control cannot prevent the
front wheel from slipping.
Failure to observe any of the above
may result in loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Traction control 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 warning
light will flash while it is engaged and
the rider may notice a change to the
sound of the engine.
Note:
• Traction control will not function if
there is a malfunction with the ABS
system. The warning lights for the
ABS, traction control and the MIL
will be illuminated.
