18.2 Motorcycle traction control (MTC)
M00864-01
The motorcycle traction control (MTC) reduces the engine torque in case of loss of traction
in the rear wheel. Depending on the motorcycle traction control setting, a slight slip on the
rear wheel may be desirable. Example: offroad.
Info
When motorcycle traction control is switched off, the rear wheel may spin during
high acceleration and on surfaces with low grip.
After the ignition is switched back on, the motorcycle traction control is reactivated.
The motorcycle traction control is operated through the "Drive Mode" ( p. 175) menu
on the combination instrument. The motorcycle traction control can be switched off in
the "MTC/ABS" menu.
