General Information
Traction Control (TC)
Warning
The traction control and optimised
cornering traction control systems are
not
a
substitute
appropriately
for
the
surface and weather conditions. The
systems
cannot
prevent
traction due to:
•
excessive speed when entering
turns
•
accelerating at a sharp lean angle
•
braking.
Traction
control
or
cornering
traction
control
prevent the front wheel from slipping.
Failure to observe any of the above
may result in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
All Explorer motorcycles are equipped
with Traction Control (TC).
TC is a system that helps to maintain
traction
when
accelerating
wet/slippery road surfaces. If sensors
detect that the rear wheel is losing
traction (slipping), the TC system will
engage and alter the engine power until
traction to the rear wheel has been
restored.
The TC indicator light will flash while it is
engaged and the rider may notice a
change to the sound of the engine.

for full details of the TC
indicator light operation.
