Activating launch control
Info
The launch control helps the rider to generate optimum motorcycle acceleration at the beginning of a

After the start, it is gradually increased up to the maximum engine speed. The rider opens the throttle
fully throughout this procedure. The clutch must be operated exactly as it would be without launch con-
trol activated.
