Warning
If ABS and/or Traction Control (TC) has
been disabled in the Main Menu as
described on Bike Set Up - ABS for ABS
and/or page
47 for TC then settings
saved for all riding modes will be
overridden.
ABS and/or TC will remain off
regardless of your riding mode
selection until they have been re-
enabled or, the ignition has been
switched off then on again, or the
MODE button is held in to return to the
default ROAD mode (which enables ABS
and/or TC when the motorcycle is next
stationary).
If the ABS is disabled, the brake system
will function as a non-ABS equipped
braking system. In this situation
braking too hard will cause the wheels
to lock, and may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
If the traction control is disabled, the
motorcycle will handle as normal but
without traction control. In this
situation accelerating too hard on wet/
slippery road surfaces may cause the
rear wheel to slip, and may result in
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
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
settings from the one you are familiar
with, causing loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Note:
• The riding mode will default to
ROAD when the ignition is switched
ON, if the OFF-ROAD, OFF-ROAD
PRO or RIDER mode was active the
last time the ignition was switched
OFF with ABS or TC set to OFF-
ROAD or OFF in either of those
modes.
• Otherwise, the last selected riding
mode will be remembered and
activated when the ignition is
switched ON.
• If the mode icons are not visible
when the ignition switch is in the
ON position, make sure that the
engine stop switch is in the RUN
position.
The current riding mode is shown in the
upper left of the display screen.
To select a riding mode:
• Press and release the MODE button
on the left hand switch housing to
activate the riding mode selection
tray at the bottom of the display
screen.
• The currently active riding mode
icon is highlighted with a blue
background.
