RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
8.3
Activating launch control
Info
The launch control helps the rider to generate optimum motorcycle acceleration 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 maximum engine speed. The rider opens the throttle fully throughout this procedure. The clutch must be operated exactly
as it would be without launch control activated.
8.4
Activating traction control
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.
