TUNING THE ENGINE 18 18.1 Ride Mode Possible states SPORT – Homologated performance with very direct response; • the motorcycle traction control allows greater slip on the rear wheel. STREET – Homologated performance with balanced response; • the motorcycle traction control allows normal slip on the rear wheel.
Page 226: Motorcycle Traction Control (Mtc)
18 TUNING THE ENGINE 18.2 Motorcycle traction control (MTC) The motorcycle traction control (MTC) lowers the engine torque in case of loss of traction in the rear wheel. Info When motorcycle traction control is switched off, the rear wheel may spin during strong acceleration and on surfaces with low grip, resulting in a risk of crashing.
Page 227: Slip Adjustment
TUNING THE ENGINE 18 18.3 Slip adjustment The slip adjustment is a motorcycle traction control function. The slip adjustment allows the motorcycle traction control to be tuned through nine levels to the desired characteristic map. Level 1 allows the maximum slip on the rear wheel, and level 9 the minimum.
