In Enduro riding mode, DTC is
calibrated to off-road operation
with road tyres.
In Enduro PRO riding mode,
DTC is calibrated to off-road
operation with studded tyres.
Driving stability
In RAIN riding mode, DTC
intervenes early enough to
achieve maximum driving sta-
bility.
In ROAD riding mode, DTC
intervenes later than in RAIN
riding mode. This prevents
the rear wheel from spinning
whenever possible.
In RAIN and ROAD riding
modes, the front wheel is
prevented from lifting.
In DYNA and DYNA PRO rid-
ing modes, DTC intervenes
later than in ROAD riding mode
meaning that the motorcycle
may drift slightly when coming
out of the corner or do short
wheelies.
In DYNA PRO riding mode,
DTC can be set differently via
SETUP MODE ( 74).
In the ENDURO riding mode,
DTC intervenes again later and
calibrated to off-road operation
so that longer drifts and short
wheelies are possible when
coming out of the curve.
In Enduro PRO riding mode,
DTC control assumes that
studded tyres are used when
off road. Longer wheelies and
wheelies in slight lean angles
are permitted. The front wheel
lift-off detection is switched off
which may cause rollover to
the rear in extreme cases!
In Enduro PRO riding mode,
DTC can be set differently via
SETUP MODE ( 74).
Mode changes
When riding, you can change rid-
ing modes only when the follow-
ing preconditions are satisfied:
No drive torque on the rear
wheel.
No brake pressure in the brake
system.
This is the status of the motor-
cycle when it is at a standstill
with the ignition switched on.
Under other circumstances, you
must proceed as follows:
Close the throttle twistgrip.
Release the brake levers.
The desired riding mode is ini-
tially preselected. The mode
change does not take place until
the systems in question are all in
the appropriate state.
The selection menu does not
disappear from the display un-
til the mode change has taken
place.
