General Information
109
To allow the system to calibrate
correctly, the following procedure must
be adhered to:
• Turn the ignition on. Do not start
the engine.
• Wait for the warning light to stop
flashing indicating that adjustment
motor calibration is complete.
• Start the engine. If the warning
light resumes flashing. the
adjustment motors are being
recalibrated due to low battery
voltage.
• Wait for the warning light to stop
flashing before riding the
motorcycle.
Failure to follow this procedure will
cause the recalibration to be stopped
and the warning light to remain lit.
In this case the warning light will
extinguish once the recalibration is next
allowed to complete.
Traction Control (TC)
Warning
The traction control and optimized
cornering traction control systems are
not a substitute for riding
appropriately for the prevailing surface
and weather conditions. The systems
cannot prevent loss of traction due to:
• excessive speed when entering turns
• accelerating at a sharp lean angle
• braking.
Traction control or optimized cornering
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.
All motorcycles are equipped with
Traction Control (TC).
Traction control is a system that 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 indicator light will
flash while it is engaged and the rider
may notice a change to the sound of
the engine.
For information on the traction control
indicator light operation, see page
