General Information

Riding Mode Selection

Warning
The selection of riding modes whilst
the motorcycle is in motion requires
the rider to allow the motorcycle to
coast (motorcycle moving,
running, throttle closed, clutch lever
pulled in and no brakes applied) for a
brief period of time.
Riding mode selection whilst the
motorcycle is in motion should only be
attempted:
• At low speed
• In traffic-free areas
• On straight and level roads or
surfaces
• In good road and
conditions
• Where it is safe to allow the
motorcycle to briefly coast.
Riding mode selection whilst the
motorcycle is in motion MUST NOT be
attempted:
• At high speeds
• Whilst riding in traffic
• During cornering or on winding
roads or surfaces
• On steeply inclined
surfaces
• In poor road/weather conditions
• Where it is unsafe to allow the
motorcycle to coast.
Failure to observe this important
warning may lead
motorcycle control and an accident.
