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 clutch must be operated exactly as it
would be without launch control activated.
