HILL START CONTROL
(HILL START CONTROL)
Hill Start Control function
The Hill Start Control prevents
an uncontrolled rolling back on
slopes by means of targeted in-
tervention in the partial integral
ABS brake system, without the
rider having to continuously op-
erate the brake lever. When Hill
Start Control is activated, pres-
sure builds in the rear brake
system so that the motorcycle
remains stationary on a sloping
surface.
The brake pressure in the
brake system depends on the
gradient.
Influence of gradient on
brake pressure and starting
behavior
Stopping on a slight incline
builds up only a small amount
of brake pressure. The brake
is released quickly when driv-
ing off, making it possible to
drive off more smoothly. Ad-
ditional turning of the throttle
grip is hardly necessary.

Stopping on a steeper slope
increases the amount of brake
pressure built up. The brake
is a bit slower to release
when driving off. More
torque is required to drive off,
making additional turning of
the throttle grip necessary.
Behavior when the vehicle is
rolling or slipping
The brake pressure increases
when the vehicle is rolling
with Hill Start Control active.
If the rear wheel slips, the
brake is released again after
approx. 1 m. This prevents
the vehicle from rolling with
the rear wheel blocked.
Releasing the brake when
switching off the engine or
during timeout
Hill Start Control is deactivated
when the engine is switched
off using the emergency-off
switch, when the side stand is
folded out, or after it times out
(10 minutes).
In addition to the indicator and
warning lights, the rider is to
be made aware about the de-
activation of the Hill Start Con-
trol by the following behavior:
