8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
8.3

Activating Launch Control

Info
The Launch Control assists the rider in optimally starting the motorcycle at the beginning of a race. The maximum speed
of the engine with the throttle valve fully opened (full throttle) is reduced. After the start, it is gradually increased up to the
maximum engine speed. The rider opens the throttle fully throughout this procedure. The clutch must be activated exactly
as it would be without an active Launch Control.

Activating traction control

Info
The traction control reduces excessive slip on the rear wheel in favor of more control and propulsion, particularly in wet con-
ditions.
When traction control is switched off, the rear wheel may spin more during high acceleration and on surfaces with low grip.
Traction control can be switched on or off during the ride.
The setting most recently selected is activated again when restarting.

The engine is running at idle speed.
The transmission is in neutral.

The Launch Control is deactivated in the following cases (FI warning lamp
no longer flashes): After full throttle, the throttle valve was closed by more
than 1/3 of the way and/or there is no start within 3 minutes.
