WARNING
Make sure the engine has sufficient-
ly slowed before shifting to a lower
gear. Engaging a lower gear when
the engine speed is too high could
make the rear wheel lose traction.
This could cause loss of control, an
accident and injury. It could also
cause engine or drivetrain damage.
LCS
The launch control system helps the
1
rider achieve smooth and swift launch-
2
es from the starting grid. It keeps en-
gine speed from rising when the
3
throttle grip is fully turned. The LCS
regulates engine power output in con-
junction with the TCS and LIF systems
for optimal traction and reduced wheel
lift.
NOTICE
Even when using LCS, the clutch le-
ver must be released gradually to
avoid clutch damage.
EWA20880
TIP
LCS is intended for track use only.
QSS
The quick shift system allows for clutch
lever-less, electronically-assisted shift-
ing. When the sensor on the shift rod
detects the appropriate motion in the
shift pedal, engine power output is mo-
mentarily adjusted to allow for the gear
change to occur.
QSS does not operate when the clutch
lever is pulled, therefore normal shifting
can be done even when QSS is set to
on. Check the QS indicator for current
status and usability information.
