TCS (Traction control system) function
The traction control system helps maintain traction when accelerating on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect that the rear wheel is starting to slip (uncontrolled spinning), the
traction control system assists by regulating engine power as needed until traction is restored. The trac-
tion control system indicator light flashes to let the rider know that traction control has engaged.
TIP
The rider may also notice slight changes in engine and exhaust sounds when the traction control sys-
tem is engaged.
EWA23P1039
WARNING
The traction control system is not a substitute for riding appropriately for the conditions. Trac-
tion control cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when entering turns, when
accelerating hard at a sharp lean angle, or while braking, and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any motorcycle, approach surfaces that may be slippery with caution and avoid
especially slippery surfaces.
There are two traction control system modes. The traction control system can also be turned off:
• "TCS" mode "1": Default mode
• "TCS" mode "2": Sporty mode
This mode decreases traction control system assist, allowing the rear wheel to spin more freely than
"TCS" mode "1".
