Traction Control (TC)
Warning
The traction control and optimized
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 optimized 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.
Warning
After riding off-road with traction
control disabled, always make sure
that the traction control is enabled
when returning to ride on public roads.
Riding on public roads with the
traction control disabled may, if
accelerating too hard on wet/slippery
road surfaces, cause the rear wheel
to slip resulting in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
All motorcycles are equipped with
Traction Control (TC). Traction control 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
traction control system will engage and
alter the engine power until traction to
the rear wheel has been restored.
The traction control indicator light will
flash while it is engaged and there may
be a change to the sound of the engine.
Optimized Cornering Traction
Control
Warning
If the Traction Control (TC) system is
not functioning, care must be taken
when accelerating and cornering on
wet/slippery road surfaces to avoid
rear wheel spin.
In the event of a fault, the TC disabled
warning light may be accompanied
by the engine management system
malfunction indicator light and/or the
ABS warning light.
Do not continue to ride for longer than
is necessary with any of the above
warning lights illuminated. Contact an
authorized Triumph dealer as soon as
possible to have the fault checked and
rectified.
Hard acceleration and cornering in this
situation may cause the rear wheel
to spin resulting in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
