Ambient Air Temperature
The ambient air temperature is
displayed as either
o
C or
o
F.
When the motorcycle is stationary the
heat of the engine may affect the
accuracy of the ambient temperature
display.
Once the motorcycle starts moving the
display will return to normal after a
short time.
To change the temperature from °C or
°F see page
52.
Frost Symbol
The
frost
symbol
will
illuminate if the ambient air temperature
is 39°F (4°C) or lower.
The frost symbol will remain illuminated
until the temperature rises to 42°F (6°C).
An alert will also be displayed in the
information tray.
ACKNOWLEDGE
CAUTION: LOW AIR TEMPERATURE
RISK OF SURFACE ICE
1/3 warnings
When the motorcycle is stationary the
heat of the engine may affect the
accuracy of the ambient temperature
display.
Once the motorcycle starts moving the
display will return to normal after a
short time.
Warning
Black ice (sometimes called clear ice)
can form at temperatures several
degrees above freezing (32°F (0°C)),
especially on bridges and in shaded
areas.
Always take extra care when the
temperatures are low and reduce
speed in potentially hazardous driving
conditions such as bad weather.
Excess speed, hard acceleration, heavy
braking or hard cornering when roads
are slippery may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Riding Modes
The riding modes allow adjustment of
the throttle response (MAP), Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS) and Traction Control
(TC) settings to suit differing road
conditions and rider preferences.
Riding modes can be conveniently
selected using the MODE button and
joystick located on the left hand switch
housing, while the motorcycle is
stationary or moving, see page
35.
Note:
• Up to six riding modes are available
depending on the motorcycle
model’s specification.
