18.2 Motorcycle traction control (Cornering MTC)

The motorcycle traction control (MTC) lowers the engine torque in
case of loss of traction in the rear wheel.
Info
When motorcycle traction control is switched off, the rear
wheel may spin during strong acceleration and on surfaces
with low grip, resulting in a risk of falling.
After the ignition is switched on, motorcycle traction con-
trol is enabled again.
In the combination instrument, the motorcycle traction control can
be switched on or off via the MTC submenu.
Info
When the motorcycle traction control is active, the TC indi-
cator lamp flashes.
When motorcycle traction control is switched off, the
TC indicator lamp lights up.
