Warning
After selecting a riding mode, operate
the motorcycle in an area free from
traffic to gain familiarity with the new
settings.
Do not loan your motorcycle to anyone
as they may change the riding mode
setting from the one you are familiar
with, causing loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.

•
The riding mode will default to
ROAD when the ignition is switched
ON.
In the event of an incomplete riding
mode change:
• Safely bring the motorcycle to a
stop
• Select neutral gear
• Turn the ignition OFF and then back
ON again
• Select the desired riding mode
• Restart the engine and continue
riding.
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 can not 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.
