RIDE-OFF ASSISTANT

Hill Start Control function
The Hill Start Control Pro drive-
off assistant function prevents
uncontrolled rolling back on
slopes by means of targeted
intervention in the partial inte-
gral ABS brake system, without
the rider having to operate the
brake lever continuously. When
Hill Start Control Pro is acti-
vated, pressure 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 rid-
ing off,.
Stopping on a steeper slope
increases the amount of brake
pressure built up. The brake
is a bit slower to release
when riding off. More torque
is required to ride off, making
additional turning of the
throttle grip necessary.
Behavior when the vehicle is
rolling back or slipping
The brake pressure increases
when the vehicle is rolling
back with the Hill Start Con-
trol Pro activated.
If the rear wheel is blocked,
the brake is released again
after approx. 3.3 ft (approx.
1 m). This prevents the ve-
hicle from slipping with a
locked rear wheel, for exam-
ple.

during timeout
Hill Start Control Pro is de-
activated when the engine is
shut off with the emergency-off
switch, when the side stand is
folded out, or after ten minutes
have passed.
In addition to indicator and
warning lights, the following
vehicle behavior should make
the rider aware that the Hill
Start Control Pro is deactivated:
Brake warning jerk
The brake is released briefly
and is immediately reacti-
vated.
This causes a jerking behavior
that the rider can feel.
The partial integral ABS
brake system sets a speed
