period of time.
Riding mode selection while the
motorcycle is in motion should only be
attempted:
At low speed
In traffic free areas
On straight and level roads or surfaces
In good road and weather conditions
Where it is safe to allow the
motorcycle to briefly coast.
Riding mode selection while the
motorcycle is in motion MUST NOT be
attempted:
At high speeds
Whilst riding in traffic
During cornering or on winding roads
or surfaces
On steeply inclined roads or surfaces
In poor road/weather conditions
Where it is unsafe to allow the
motorcycle to coast.
Failure to observe this important
warning will lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
