Special features
• The traction control system can
only be turned off by setting "TCS-
MODE" to "OFF", using the MODE
switches. See page 4-4 for more
information on "TCS-MODE".

• When "TCS-MODE" has been set
to "OFF", the TCS, SCS and LIF
systems are all turned off togeth-
er.
WARNING
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution and avoid especially slip-
pery surfaces.
When the vehicle power is on, the trac-
tion control system automatically turns
on. The traction control system can be
turned on or off manually only when
the key is in the "ON" position and the
motorcycle is stopped.
TIP
Set "TCS-MODE" to "OFF" to help free
the rear wheel if the motorcycle gets
stuck in mud, sand, or other soft sur-
faces.

NOTICE
Use only the speci ed tires. (See
page 7-15.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation
accurately.
SCS
The slide control system regulates en-
gine power output when a sideward
slide is detected in the rear wheel. It
adjusts power output based on data
from the IMU (Inertial Measurement
Unit). This system supports the TCS to
contribute to a smoother ride.
LIF
The lift control system reduces the rate
at which the front wheel rises during
extreme acceleration, such as during
starts or out-of-corner exits. When
front-wheel lift is detected, engine
power is regulated to slow front-wheel
lift while still providing good accelera-
tion.
