RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
9.3
Activating Launch Control (EXC‑F Six Days)
Warning
Voiding of the government approval for road use and the insurance coverage If the combination switch is installed, the vehicle's
approval for road use is invalidated.
–
Only operate the vehicle in closed-off areas remote from public road traffic if the combination switch is installed.
Info
The Launch Control assists the rider to optimally accelerate the motorcycle at the beginning of a race. The maximum speed of
the engine with the throttle valve fully opened (full throttle) is reduced. After the start, it is gradually increased up to the max-
imum engine speed. The rider opens the throttle fully throughout this procedure. The clutch must be activated exactly as it
would be without an active Launch Control.
9.4
Activating traction control (EXC‑F Six Days)
Warning
Voiding of the government approval for road use and the insurance coverage If the combination switch is installed, the vehicle's
approval for road use is invalidated.
–
Only operate the vehicle in closed-off areas remote from public road traffic if the combination switch is installed.
Info
The traction control reduces excessive slip on the rear wheel in favor of more control and propulsion, particularly in wet condi-
tions.
When traction control is switched off, the rear wheel may spin more during high acceleration and on surfaces with low grip.
Traction control can be switched on or off during the ride.
The setting most recently selected is activated again when restarting.
–
Press the electric starter button.
Info
Press the electric starter button for a maximum of 5 seconds. Wait for 30
seconds before a further attempt at starting.
At temperatures below 15 °C (60 °F), several attempts at starting may be
necessary to warm-up the lithium-ion battery and thereby increase the start-
ing power.
During the starting process, the malfunction indicator lamp lights up.
