If the quicks is activated, you can shift up and down without actu-
ating the clutch.
Because there is no need to close the throttle grip, uninterrupted gear
shifts are possible.
The quicks uses the shifter shaft position to check whether or
not a shift should be initiated, and sends a corresponding signal to the
engine control.

Motorcycle traction control

The motorcycle traction control (cornering MTC) lowers the engine
torque in case of loss of traction in the rear wheel. Depending on the
riding mode, different amounts of slip are allowed when the traction
control is activated.
Info
When motorcycle traction control is switched off, the rear wheel
may spin during strong acceleration and on surfaces with low
grip, resulting in a risk of crashing.
After the ignition is switched on, motorcycle traction control is
enabled again.
The motorcycle traction control
MTC
is switched on and off on the left
combination switch using the
TC
button.
Info
When the motorcycle traction control is active, the TC indica-
tor lamp
flashes.
When motorcycle traction control is switched off, the TC indica-
tor lamp
lights up.
