Warning
Danger of accidents The cruise control system function is not suitable for all riding situations.
The selected target speed will not be reached, if the engine power is not sufficient for a gradient.
The selected target speed will be exceeded if the engine braking effect is not sufficient on an incline.
– Do not use the cruise control systems function on winding roads.
– Do not use the cruise control systems on slippery road surfaces (e.g. rain, ice or snow), where there is
poor visibility or on unpaved surfaces (e.g. sand, stones or gravel).
– Do not use the cruise control systems function if the traffic does not permit a constant speed.
Cruise control functions:
– After activation of the cruise control function, the throttle can be turned back to the basic position. The
selected speed will be maintained.
– If no cruise speed has been saved yet, this can be saved using the +RES button.
– If the cruise speed is exceeded for less than 10 seconds by turning the throttle, the cruise control remains
activated.
– If the cruise speed differs from the current speed in excess of 10 km/h or 10 mph, e.g. in the event of over-
taking, the current speed is stored as the cruise speed by pressing the ‑SET button briefly.
– If there is a sharp incline and the engine braking effect is not sufficient to maintain the set cruise speed, the
system brakes actively.
– If the set target speed is significantly below the current speed, the system brakes actively in order to reach
the target speed.
– The speed is reduced as the incline increases.
The cruise control function is deactivated when one of the following events occurs (switch-off conditions):
– Operating the handbrake lever.
– Operating the rear brake lever.
– Operating the clutch lever for more than 2.5 seconds.
– Closing the throttle beyond the basic position.
– Slip at the rear wheel or a lifting front wheel and associated control of the motorcycle traction control (MTC)
for longer than 1 second.
– Control of ABS for more than 1 second.
– A malfunction occurs which impairs the cruise control function.
– Exceeding the target speed for more than 10 seconds when overtaking.
– Steep inclines above 41°.
– Engine speed below 1,500 rpm.
– First gear engaged or transmission in neutral position.
– Motorcycle traction control (MTC) is switched off.
– ABS mode Offroad is activated.
The cruise control can only be activated if the following conditions are met (operating conditions):
– Motorcycle traction control (MTC) is activated.
– No strong acceleration.
– No incline above 41°.
– 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear is engaged.
– Vehicle speed between 30 and 200 km/h or between 20 and 125 mph.
– ABS mode Road is active.
