Traction Control (TC)
All Explorer motorcycles are equipped
with Traction Control (TC).
TC is a system that helps to maintain
traction when accelerating on
wet/slippery road surfaces. If sensors
detect that the rear wheel is losing
traction (slipping), the TC system will
engage and alter the engine power until
traction to the rear wheel has been
restored.
The TC indicator light will flash while it is
engaged and the rider may notice a
change to the sound of the engine.
See page
30 for full details of the TC
indicator light operation.
Optimised Cornering TC
The following Explorer models are
equipped with optimised cornering TC:
• Explorer XRX
• Explorer XRX-LRH
• Explorer XRT
• Explorer XCX
• Explorer XCX-LRH
• Explorer XCA
Optimised cornering traction control is a
system designed to give the rider
increased control should the traction
control be activated whilst the
motorcycle is leaning in a corner.
The system constantly monitors the
lean angle of the motorcycle and adapts
the level of traction control intervention
in a manor most suitable to maintain
rear wheel traction during cornering.
Note:
• TC and optimised TC control (if
equipped) may not function if there
is a malfunction with the ABS
system. In this situation, the
warning lights for the ABS, TC and
the MIL may be illuminated.
Warning
The traction control and optimised
cornering traction control systems are
not a substitute for riding
appropriately for the prevailing
surface and weather conditions. The
systems cannot prevent loss of
traction due to:
• excessive speed when entering
turns
• accelerating at a sharp lean angle
• braking.
Traction control or optimised
cornering 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.
