Traction Control (TC). Traction control is
a system that helps to maintain traction
of
when accelerating on wet/slippery road
surfaces. If sensors detect that the rear
wheel is losing traction (slipping), the
traction control system will engage and
alter the engine power until traction to
the rear wheel has been restored. The
traction control indicator light will flash
while it is engaged and a change to the
sound of the engine may be noticed. For
information on the traction control
indicator light operation, see page 45.

Traction control may not always be
active depending on the riding mode
