Traction Control (TC)
Warning
Traction control is not a substitute for
riding appropriately for the prevailing
road and weather conditions.
The traction control cannot prevent
loss of traction due to:
- Excessive speed when entering turns
- Accelerating at a sharp lean angle
- Braking
- 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.
Traction control 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 warning
light will flash while it is engaged and
the rider may notice a change to the
sound of the engine.
Note:
• Traction control will not function if
there is a malfunction with the ABS
system. The warning lights for the
ABS, traction control and the MIL
will be illuminated.
Traction Control Settings
Warning
Do not attempt to adjust the traction
control settings while the motorcycle is
in motion as this may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
In the LCD instrument displays, traction
control is shown as ‘TTC’ which refers to
Triumph Traction Control (TTC). In the
TFT instrument displays it is shown as
‘TC’ which refers to Traction Control (TC).
Both TC and TTC are the same traction
control system.
The Triumph Traction Control can be set
to one of the following conditions:
•
On/Road – Optimal TTC setting for
road use, allows minimal rear wheel
slip
•
Off Road – TTC is set up for off-
road use, allowing increased rear
wheel slip when compared to the
Road setting. The TTC indicator
light will flash slowly.
•
Off – TTC is turned off. The TTC
disabled warning light will be
illuminated.
