of the part-load cam and the
margin from the switch-over
threshold to full-load cam op-
eration. The length of the bar
represents the load reserve left
before the switch-over point
for full-load cam operation is
reached. The colour changes
to grey when load require-
ment increases and the engine
switches to the full-load cam.
The reading shown by the ECO
indicator varies depending on
the gear selected by the rider,
the load requirement input via
the throttle grip, and engine
rpm. Even outside the operat-
ing range of the part-load cam,
when the bar is grey, the ECO
offers benefits for an econom-
ical style of riding by reducing
maximum available torque and
peak power.
Because of the reduced
acceleration ability in ECO
mode, changing to a different
riding mode is recommended
prior to critical overtaking man-
oeuvres with the motorcycle
heavily loaded or when riding
two-up.
Rider can further reduce con-
sumption by riding with fuel
economy in mind (

DYNAMIC BRAKE CONTROL

with riding modes Pro
How Dynamic Brake Control
works
in all riding modes. It can be
deactivated in the DYNAMIC
PRO and ENDURO PRO
riding modes only, by custom
parametrisation of the ABS.
The Dynamic Brake Control
function assists the rider in
emergency braking situations.
Detection of emergency
braking
Sudden, sharp application of
the front brake is interpreted
as emergency braking.
Behaviour in emergency
braking
If emergency braking oc-
curs at a speed in excess
of 10 km/h, the ABS func-
tion is further assisted by
Dynamic Brake Control.
If partially integral braking
at a high brake pres-
sure gradient is initiated
Dynamic Brake Control
increases the integral brake
pressure at the rear wheel.
