TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)
For model equipped with CBS/ABS/TCS:
The Traction Control System (TCS) assists you in maintaining traction while accelerating on
slippery surfaces by regulating the engine's power output when it senses the rear wheel
starting to lose traction.
TCS automatically turns on when the ignition is turned ON. You have the option of turning
TCS off by using the TCS ON/OFf Switch.
Riding with TCS requires no special skills or techniques. TCS does not affect braking and
cannot prevent loss of traction if you enter a corner too fast. It is still your responsibility to
ride at reasonable speeds for weather, road surface, and traffic conditions, and to leave a
margin of safety.
When riding on loose, slippery, or uneven surfaces, you may notice the engine does not
respond to the throttle in the same way it usually does. This is a sign that TCS is activated and
operating. The TCS Activation Light will flash on to signal you.
NOTE:
Engine intake and exhaust noise may change when the TCS active.

TCS may be activated by riding over a sharp drop or rise in the road level.
