Traction control system

The traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating on
slippery surfaces, such as unpaved or
wet roads. If sensors detect that the
2
rear wheel is starting to slip (uncon-
trolled spinning), the traction control
system assists by regulating engine
power until traction is restored.
When traction control has engaged,
the " " indicator light will flash. You
may notice changes in engine re-
sponse or exhaust sound.
WARNING
1
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
2
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 vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution and avoid especially slip-
pery surfaces.

surfaces.
