Honda selectable torque control
(Torque Control)
When the system detects rear wheel spin during
acceleration, the system will limit the amount of
torque applied to the rear wheel based on the
Torque Control level selected.
Torque Control will allow some wheel spin
during acceleration at the lower Torque Control
levels settings. Select a level that is appropriate
for your skill and riding conditions.
Torque Control does not work during
deceleration and will not prevent the rear wheel
from skidding due to engine braking. Do not
close the throttle suddenly, especially when
riding on slippery surfaces.
Torque Control may not compensate for rough
road conditions or rapid throttle operation.
Always consider road and weather conditions,
as well as your skills and condition, when
applying throttle.
If your motorcycle gets stuck in mud, snow or
sand, it may be easier to free it with the Torque
Control temporarily switched off.
Temporarily turning off Torque Control also
may help you maintain control and balance
when riding on off-road terrain.
Always use the recommended tyres and
sprockets to ensure correct Torque Control
operation.
