traction control system is enabled and
the last mode selected displays in the

All traction control system modes can
be selected when the key is in the "ON"
position. Modes 1 through 6 can also
be selected when the vehicle is mov-
ing, however the throttle grip must be
completely closed. The traction control
system cannot be turned on or off

page 6-18.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
