dency toward drift will be noticed
at the rear of the vehicle.
ROAD mode
The point at which the ASC sys-
tem intervenes is later than in
the RAIN mode. The vehicle re-
mains stable on road surfaces
with high to moderate coeffi-
cients of friction (traction) (dry
and wet asphalt as well as dry
cobblestones). Slight rear-wheel
drift is perceptible. Perceptible
uncontrolled motion can be felt
z
from the rear on slippery road
surfaces (wet blacktop and wet
cobblestones).
with Pro riding modes
DYNAMIC mode
DYNAMIC mode is the most
performance-oriented mode.
The point at which the ASC sys-
tem intervenes is even later,
which means that even on dry
asphalt drifting is possible under
sharp acceleration when corner-
ing.
ABS
The rear wheel lift assistant is
active in all modes.
The ABS is set for use on pub-
lic roads.
with ABS Pro
In the RAIN and ROAD riding
modes, ABS Pro is fully avail-
able. The inclination the mo-
torcycle has when braking in
curves is reduced to a mini-
mum.
In the DYNAMIC riding mode,
OE
ABS Pro is only available un-
der good frictional conditions.
Support is reduced compared
to the ROAD riding mode and
is instead set for the highest
possible braking effect.
with Dynamic ESA
Dynamic ESA
In the RAIN, ROAD and DY-
NAMIC modes, damping vari-
ants HARD, NORMAL and
SOFT can be selected.
Default setting for:
RAIN: SOFT
ROAD: NORMAL
OE
with Pro riding modes
DYNAMIC: HARD
Changing between riding
modes
A newly selected mode govern-
ing the engine-management and
ASC functionality cannot be im-
plemented while drive torque
is being transmitted to the rear
wheel.
