Warning
Danger of accidents An incorrectly selected riding mode
makes control of the vehicle considerably more difficult.
The riding modes are each only suitable for certain condi-
tions.
–
Always select a riding mode that suits the surface on
which you are riding, the weather and the riding situa-
tion.
Various vehicle tunings can be selected in the Ride Mode sub-
menu. Street, Rain, Offroad and Rally are available (optional).
The riding mode selected last appears in the display.
The riding mode can also be changed while riding with a closed
throttle grip.
Info
The riding mode selection does not influence the ABS.
The motorcycle traction control (MTC) lowers the engine torque
in case of loss of traction in the rear wheel. Depending on the
riding mode ( p. 135), different amounts of slip are allowed
when traction control is activated.
Info
When motorcycle traction control is switched off, the rear
wheel may spin during strong acceleration and on surfaces
with low grip, resulting in a risk of falling.
After the ignition is switched on, motorcycle traction con-
F01806-01
trol is enabled again.
In the combination instrument, the motorcycle traction control can
be switched on or off via the MTC submenu.
