In each mode ABS and/or ASC
8
can be switched off. The follow-
ing descriptions always apply to
96
systems that have been switched
on.
Throttle response
In RAIN and ENDURO riding
mode: the engine's response
characteristics are reserved.
In ROAD and ENDURO+ riding
mode: the engine's response
characteristics are direct and at
an optimum level.
ABS
In RAIN and ROAD the ABS
z
is set to on-road riding mode
with road tyres. The ABS inter-
venes at such an early stage to
achieve maximum riding stabil-
ity. This also applies to the rear
wheel lift-off detection.
In ENDURO riding mode the
ABS is set to off-road mode
with road tyres. ABS inter-
venes at a later point compared
with on-road mode. The sys-
tem tolerates if the rear wheel
slightly loses contact with the
surface in off-road mode.
In ENDURO+ riding mode the
ABS is set to off-road mode
with off-road tyres with large
tread blocks. ABS intervenes
on the front wheel at a later
point compared with on-road
mode. If the rider operates
the footbrake lever, there is
no ABS intervention at the rear
wheel.
ASC
The front wheel lift-off detec-
tion is active in all riding modes
and provides maximum sup-
port.
In RAIN and ROAD riding
modes ASC is set to on-road
mode.
ASC intervenes at an early
stage in RAIN riding mode to
achieve maximum riding sta-
bility. The ASC intervention in
riding mode ROAD is carried
out at a later point compared
with RAIN riding mode. This
prevents the rear wheel from
spinning whenever possible.
In ENDURO and ENDURO+
riding mode the ASC is set to
off-road mode.
ENDURO riding mode is de-
signed for road tyres in off-road
mode. The ASC intervenes
later to also allow slight over-
steering.
ENDURO+ riding mode is de-
signed for off-road tyres with
large tread blocks in off-road
mode. The ASC intervenes
even later to also allow pro-
longed oversteering.
