Hill Start Control

Hill Start Control function
Hill Start Control assistant pre-
vents the motorcycle from rolling
backwards uncontrolled on gradi-
ents by intervening specific-
ally with the ABS brake system
without the driver having to con-
stantly operate the brake lever.
Pressure in the rear brake sys-
tem is built up when Hill Start
OE
Control is activated in order to
keep the motorcycle stationary
on an incline.
The brake pressure in the brake
system is dependent on the
gradient.
Effect of an incline on brake
pressure and drive-off
behaviour
If the motorcycle is stopped on
a gentle incline, only low brake
pressure is built up. In this
case, the brakes are quickly
released when driving off. The
motorcycle can be moved off
more gently. It is not necessary
to turn the throttle grip again.
If the motorcycle is stopped
on a steep incline, high brake
pressure is built up. In this
case, the brakes take longer to
release when driving off. More
torque is required for driving off
which also requires the rider to
turn the throttle grip again.
Behaviour when the
motorcycle rolls or slips
If the motorcycle rolls when Hill
Start Control is activated, the
brake pressure is increased.
If the rear wheel slips, the
brake is released again after
approx. 1 m. This prevents,
for example, slipping due to a
blocked rear wheel.
Releasing brake when
stopping the engine or
timeout
Hill Start Control is deactivated
when the engine is stopped us-
ing the emergency-off switch,
when the side stand is folded out
or after timeout (10 minutes).

warning lights, the rider should
