Start of race

Launch Control
Launch Control supports the
rider in maintaining the ideal
speed for a race start. Launch
Control can only be activated in
SLICK riding mode.

After Launch Control is activated,
the system maintains the engine
speed at approx. 8000 rpm at
full throttle. After clutch engage-
ment, the speed is controlled
such that maximum traction is
generated on the rear wheel.
The throttle grip remains in full-
throttle position in the process. If
a speed of 35 mph (60 km/h) is
exceeded, speed limiting is deac-
tivated.
The DTC is switched off while
Launch Control is active.
Launch Control is also switched
off under the following condi-
tions:

Angle becomes greater than
30°.
Engine or ignition is switched
off.

The number of subsequent starts
with Launch Control is limited for
