“TCS-MODE”
This model is equipped with the trac-
tion control system, the slide control
system (SCS), and the lift control sys-
tem (LIF). These are grouped together
into “TCS-MODE”. “TCS-MODE” has
4 settings:
“TCS-MODE M” is customizable in the
settings MENU, see page 5-16.
Traction control system
The traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating. If
sensors detect that the rear wheel is
starting to slip (uncontrolled spinning),
the traction control system assists by
regulating engine power as needed un-
til traction is restored. The stability
control indicator light “
” flashes to
let the rider know that traction control
has engaged.
This traction control system automati-
cally adjusts according to the vehicle’s
lean angle. To maximize acceleration,
when the vehicle is upright a lesser
amount of traction control is applied.
When cornering, a greater amount of
traction control is applied.
TIP
The traction control system may
engage when the vehicle travels
over a bump.
You may notice slight changes in
engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control or other sys-
tems engage.
The traction control system can
only be turned off by setting “TCS-
MODE” to “OFF”, using the MODE
switches. See page 5-3 for more
information on “TCS-MODE”.
When “TCS-MODE” has been set
to “OFF”, the traction control sys-
tem, SCS and LIF systems are all
turned off together.
