HILL HOLD (V-STROM 1050XT)
Hill hold is a function that prevents the
motorcycle from moving backwards
when starting after stopping on an uphill
slope and assists with pulling away
smoothly.
When the system operates, it controls
the rear brake for about 30 seconds to
prevent the motorcycle from moving
backward without any operation of the
brake lever or the brake pedal.
About 3 seconds before the system is
deactivated, the hill hold indicator starts
blinking and the brake pressure is grad-
ually reduced accordingly until the sys-
tem is fully deactivated.
System operation conditions
• Motorcycle stopped on an uphill
slope
• Front brake, rear brake or both
brakes applied

NOTE:
• Hill hold does not function until the
