Selection
In order to adjust the motorcycle
to the road condition, two riding
modes can be selected:
ROAD: On-road riding
ENDURO: Off-road riding
For each of the two riding modes
aligned settings for the ABS and
ASC systems are available.
ABS and/or ASC can be
switched off in each mode: the
explanations below invariably
z
apply to the behaviour of the
motorcycle with these systems
active.
ABS
The rear wheel lift assistant is
active in both modes.
In the ROAD mode ABS has
been adjusted to on-road rid-
ing.
In ENDURO mode ABS has
been adjusted to off-road riding
using massive-bar tyres.
ASC
The front wheel lift assistant is
active in both modes.
In ROAD mode the ASC is
configured for on-road riding.
In ENDURO mode the ASC is
configured for off-road riding.
Mode changes
A changeover of the ABS and
ASC functions while riding is
possible only in certain operat-
ing states:
No drive torque at the rear
wheel
No brake pressure in the brake
system.
In order to achieve this state:
The throttle twistgrip must be
in the fully closed position,
The brake levers must be in
the released positions,
The clutch lever must
be pulled and the clutch
disengaged
or
The motorcycle must be at
a standstill with the ignition
switched on.
The desired riding mode is ini-
tially preselected. The mode
change does not take place until
the systems in question are all in
the appropriate state.
