Risk of accident despite ASC
Invariably, the rider bears re-
sponsibility for assessing road
and traffic conditions and ad-
opting his or her style of riding
accordingly.
Do not take risks that would
negate the additional safety
offered by this system.

How does traction control
work?
Traction control is available in
two versions
without provision for the bank
angle: Automatic Stability Con-
trol ASC
ASC is a rudimentary function
intended to prevent falls.
with provision for bank angle:
Dynamic Traction Control DTC
DTC regulation is more del-
icate and more comfortable
thanks to the additional bank
angle and acceleration informa-
tion.
The traction control system com-
pares the speed of rotation at
the circumferences of the front
wheel and the rear wheel. The
differential is used to compute
slip as a measure of the reserves
of stability available at the rear
wheel. If slip exceeds a certain
limit, the engine management
system intervenes and adapts
engine torque accordingly.

Special situations
In accordance with the laws of
physics, the ability to accelerate
is restricted more and more as
the angle of heel increases. Con-
sequently, there can be a per-
ceptible reduction in acceleration
out of very tight bends.
The speeds of the front and rear
wheels are compared and DTC,
unlike ASC, also takes the bank
angle into account in processing
data to detect the rear wheel's
incipient tendency to spin or slip
sideways.
