in the rear wheel. Depending on the motorcycle traction control setting, a slight slip on the
rear wheel may be desirable. Example: offroad.
Info
When motorcycle traction control is switched off, the rear wheel may spin during
strong acceleration and on surfaces with low grip, resulting in a risk of crashing.
After the ignition is switched back on, motorcycle traction control is enabled again.
The motorcycle traction control is controlled via the Motorcycle menu on the combination
F00940-01
instrument. The traction control can be switched off in the MTC menu.
