roads with many bends, accesses to or exits of
motorways, roads with roadworks.
Attention
The Cruise Control is only available with ABS on
and set to level 2 or 3, and with Traction Control on.
Attention
The Cruise Control is not a safety system. While
braking or accelerating, it does not perform
emergency braking: its braking capacity is limited. In
some conditions of the surrounding environment or
traffic, the system may react by braking or
accelerating unexpectedly: the rider will therefore
have to ride with both hands on the handlebar at all
times to maintain maximum control of the
motorcycle. The Cruise Control may not affect the
brakes if the rider turns the throttle handgrip, as this
may override the Cruise Control function (see the
"Override" section).
What features can be set?
When the Cruise Control is switched on, the current
speed of the motorcycle can be set as the cruising
speed (see paragraph "Switching on and off"). While
riding, you can change the cruising speed or
interrupt its setting (see paragraphs "Changing the
speed" and "Stopping the speed control").
Cornering behaviour
When the Cruise Control detects that the motorcycle
is leaning (e.g. in bends), it can slow down the speed
of the bike to ensure greater comfort; this is done
within the limits of the system. The amount of
deceleration is a function of the leaning angle.
Attention
When entering or exiting a bend, the system
may behave unexpectedly, suddenly accelerating or
braking. Similar events may more likely occur if the
radius of the bend is narrow or variable.
Switching on and off
The maximum cruising speed that can be set is 160
km/h (98 mph)
The minimum cruising speed that can be set
depends on the gear selected:
