Ride by Wire (RbW)
The Ride by Wire system is the electronic device that
controls throttle opening and closing. Since there is
no mechanical connection between the throttle
twistgrip and the throttle body, the ECU can adjust
power delivery by directly affecting throttle opening
angle.
The Ride by Wire system allows different engine
powers and outputs based on the selected Riding
Mode (Engine), but also serves as a control of rear
wheel slipping (DTC).
