How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning
The hill hold control system will
deactivate if the side stand is moved to
the down position, the ignition is
switched off, the engine stop switch is
moved to the STOP position or if the
engine is stopped for any other reason.
The hill hold control system will also
deactivate if a fault occurs which
causes the MIL to illuminate.
In these circumstances, the front brake
must be manually applied to prevent
the motorcycle from rolling.
Failure to prevent the motorcycle from
rolling may lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Caution
The hill hold control system is not
designed to be used as a parking
brake.
Do not continually activate the hill hold
system for periods of longer than
10 minutes.
Continuous activation of the hill hold
control system for periods of longer
than 10 minutes may cause damage to
the ABS system.
Activation
Note:
• The hill hold control system will not
operate if there is a fault with the
ABS or engine management
systems and the ABS and/or MIL
warning lights are illuminated.
To activate the hill hold control system,
bring the motorcycle to a stop.
For hill hold control to activate:
• The engine must be running
• The side stand must be in the up
position
• The motorcycle must be stationary.
When all of the above conditions are
met, squeeze the front brake lever
firmly and quickly, then release. Upon
releasing the lever, the message HILL
HOLD ACTIVATED will appear in the
multifunction display.
The hill hold control system is now
active and the rear brake will be
automatically applied.
The message HILL HOLD ACTIVATED will
remain visible in the multifunction
display until hill hold control is
deactivated.
The rear brake will remain applied until:
• The system detects that the rider
is attempting to move off.
• Hill hold control is manually
deactivated by the rider.
