virtually linear, engine response is
soft.
The ABS always intervenes early
enough to prevent as effectively
as possible the wheels from lock-
ing and the rear wheel from lifting
off the ground.
The DTC system intervenes early
enough to prevent the rear wheel
from spinning whenever possible.
SPORT
The engine's full power is
available in this mode. Power
increase when you open the
throttle remains reserved, but
engine response is more direct.
The behaviour of the ABS is the
same as in RAIN mode.
The DTC system intervenes later
than in RAIN mode, so it is pos-
sible to induce slight drift when
exiting corners.
RACE
RACE is the sportiest mode
available without the coding plug
inserted.
Engine power and power in-
crease are even higher than in
SPORT mode.
In this mode the ABS intervenes
later. It still prevents the wheels
from locking, but the function
that detects the tendency of
the rear wheel to lift clear of
the ground is deactivated. Un-
der these circumstances the rear
wheel can lift off the ground.
The DTC system intervenes
even later than in the other
modes, so lengthy drifts and
wheelies are possible when
exiting corners.
SLICK
The SLICK mode cannot be ac-
tivated unless the coding plug is
inserted.
The SLICK mode was developed
for situations in which the rider
has an open view of the road
ahead and the surroundings and
is riding on surfaces with the
high level of grip generally en-
countered only on race tracks.
Similarly, the assumption on
which the parameters settings
for this mode are based is that
the motorcycle is fitted with ra-
cing slicks with a very high level
of dry-surface grip.
Engine power, power increase
and throttle response are all set
up for maximum sportiness.
Overrun cut-off is deactivated.
The behaviour of the ABS is the
same as in RACE mode, with
one exception: ABS control is
not active at the rear wheel when
the footbrake lever is pressed.
Under these circumstances the
rear wheel can lock up. The
function for detecting the rear
