Hill Start Control

Hill Start Control function
The Hill Start Control Hill Start
Control prevents an uncontrolled
rolling back on slopes by means
of targeted intervention in the
partial integral ABS brake system,
without the rider having to con-
tinuously operate the brake lever.
When Hill Start Control is acti-
vated, pressure builds in the rear
brake system so that the mo-
torcycle remains stationary on a
sloping surface.
The brake pressure in the brake
system depends on the gradient.
Influence of gradient on
brake pressure and starting
behavior
Stopping on a slight incline
builds up only a small amount
of brake pressure. The brake
is released quickly when driving
off, making it possible to drive
off more smoothly. Additional
turning of the throttle grip is
hardly necessary.
Stopping on a steeper slope
increases the amount of brake
pressure built up. The brake
is a bit slower to release when
driving off. More torque is re-
quired to drive off, making ad-
ditional turning of the throttle
grip necessary.
Behavior when the vehicle is
rolling or slipping
The brake pressure increases
when the vehicle is rolling with
Hill Start Control active.
If the rear wheel slips, the
brake is released again after
approx. 1 m. This prevents the
vehicle from rolling with the
rear wheel blocked.
Releasing the brake when
switching off the engine or
during timeout
Hill Start Control is deactivated
when the engine is switched off
using the emergency-off switch,
when the side stand is folded
out, or after it times out (10 min-
utes).

warning lights, the rider is to be
