Proper Riding Method
Introduction of TCS
If rider gives too much throttle or rides on a slippery
surface like an ice-covered road or a wet road and etc., it
may cause the rear wheel slipping. The traction control
system helps the vehicle maintain traction when above
situation happens. If sensors detect that the rear wheel is
starting to slip (uncontrolled spinning), the TCS assists by
regulating engine speed until traction is restored. You may
notice changes in engine response or exhaust sound.
The TCS is not a substitute for riding appropriately
•
for the conditions. The TCS cannot prevent loss of
traction or front wheel-slip while rider is entering turn
in excessive speed or accelerating hard at a sharp
lean angle or braking too hard. As with any vehicle
approach surfaces that maybe slippery with caution
and avoid especially slippery surfaces.
Use only the specified tyres. Using different size
•
tyres will result the TCS cannot operate accurately
that may cause hazardous situation.
Warning
NOTE: Turn off the TCS is recommended before start the
engine in a cold weather, if open the throttle to make the
engine start or warm up easily is necessary. After that,
turn on the TCS.
The TCS will turn on automatically when main switch
•
restarts.
Turn the TCS off to free the rear wheel if the vehicle
•
gets stuck in mud, sand, or other soft road surfaces.
When the vehicle is on the center stand and the TCS
•
is on, do not attempt to wide open the throttle for an
extended period of time to avoid the spark plug
wetting or cause the indicator light remains on due to
the malfunction detected.
The TCS will lose function and the indicator will light
•
up when the battery malfunction or died.
