Possible states
• Street – Homologated performance with balanced response;
the motorcycle traction control allows normal slip on the rear
wheel.
•
Rain – Reduced homologated performance for better ridabil-
ity; the motorcycle traction control allows less slip on the rear
wheel.
• Offroad – Reduced homologated performance for better rid-
ability; the motorcycle traction control allows increased slip
on the rear wheel. The ABS on the rear wheel is deactivated.
• Rally (optional) – Setting with homologated performance and
extremely direct response. The motorcycle traction control,
the ABS on the rear wheel and the characteristics of the
throttle response can be set individually.
Warning
Danger of accidents An incorrectly selected riding mode
makes control of the vehicle considerably more difficult.
The riding modes are each only suitable for certain condi-
tions.
– Always select a riding mode that suits the surface on
which you are riding, the weather and the riding situa-
tion.
Various vehicle tunings can be selected in the combination instru-
ment in the Ride Mode submenu. Street, Rain, Offroad and Rally are
available (optional).
The last selected riding mode appears in the display.
The riding mode can also be changed while riding with the throttle
grip closed.
18.2 Motorcycle traction control (Cornering MTC)
I00214-01
The motorcycle traction control (MTC) lowers the engine torque
in case of loss of traction in the rear wheel. Depending on the
riding mode ( p. 144), different amounts of slip are allowed
when traction control is activated.
Info
When motorcycle traction control is switched off, the rear
wheel may spin during strong acceleration and on surfaces
with low grip, resulting in a risk of falling.
After the ignition is switched on, motorcycle traction con-
trol is enabled again.
In the combination instrument, the motorcycle traction control can
be switched on or off via the MTC submenu.
Info
When the motorcycle traction control is active, the TC indi-
cator lamp flashes.
When motorcycle traction control is switched off, the
TC indicator lamp lights up.
