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 4-27).
When the key is turned to "ON", the
traction control system is enabled and
"TCS 1" is displayed in the multi-func-
tion meter.

be changed only when the key is in the
"ON" position and the vehicle is not

the rear wheel if the motorcycle gets
stuck in mud, sand, or other soft sur-

system from controlling tire rotation

"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
