ping. As with any motorcycle, ap-
proach surfaces that
slippery with caution and avoid es-
pecially slippery surfaces.
There are three traction control system
modes:
 "TCS 1": Default mode
 "TCS 2": Sporty mode
This mode decreases traction
control system assist, allowing the
rear wheel to spin more freely than
"TCS 1".
 "TCS OFF": The traction control
system is turned off. The system
may also be automatically dis-
abled in some riding conditions
(see "Resetting" on page 3-28).
When the key is turned to "ON", the
traction control system is enabled and
"TCS 1" is displayed in the multi-func-
tion meter.
The traction control system mode can
be changed only when the key is in the
"ON" position and the vehicle is not
moving.
INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
TIP
may be
Use the mode "TCS OFF" to help free
the rear wheel if the motorcycle gets
stuck in mud, sand, or other soft sur-
faces.
NOTICE
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 6-18.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation
accurately.
Setting the traction control system
WARNING
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
traction control system. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
Push the "TCS" button on the multi-
function meter for less than one sec-
ond to change between the modes "1"
and "2". Push the button for at least
two seconds to select the mode "TCS
OFF" and turn the traction control sys-
tem off. Push the button again to return
to the previously selected mode "1" or
"2".
