adjustment of the Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS), throttle response (MAP)
and Traction Control (TC) settings to suit
different road conditions and rider
preferences.
Riding modes can be selected using the
MODE and SCROLL buttons on the left
hand switch housing, while the
motorcycle is stationary or moving.

Warning
The selection of riding modes while the
motorcycle is in motion requires the
rider to allow the motorcycle to coast
(motorcycle moving, engine running,
throttle closed, clutch lever pulled in
and no brakes applied) for a brief
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
• While 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 may lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
