Riding Mode Selection
Warning
The selection of riding modes while
the motorcycle is in motion requires
the rider to allow the motorcycle to
coast (motorcycle moving, engine
running, throttle closed, clutch lever
pulled in and no brakes applied) for a
brief period of time.
Riding mode selection while the
motorcycle is in motion should only be
attempted:
- At low speed
- In traffic free areas
- On straight and level roads or
surfaces
- In good road and weather conditions
- Where it is safe to allow the
motorcycle to briefly coast.
Riding mode selection while the
motorcycle is in motion MUST NOT be
attempted:
- At high speeds
- While riding in traffic
- During cornering or on winding
roads or surfaces
- On steeply inclined roads or surfaces
- In poor road/weather conditions
- Where it is unsafe to allow the
motorcycle to coast.
Failure to observe this important
warning will lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
After selecting a riding mode, operate
the motorcycle in an area free from
traffic to gain familiarity with the new
settings.
Do not loan your motorcycle to
anyone as they may change the riding
mode settings from the one you are
familiar with, causing loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
If Traction Control (TC) has been
disabled in the Main Menu as
described on page 56 then all TC
settings that were saved for all riding
modes will be overridden.
TC will remain off regardless of the
riding mode selection, until it has been
re-enabled or the ignition has been
switched off then on again.
If the traction control is disabled, the
motorcycle will handle as normal but
without traction control. In this
situation accelerating too hard on
wet/slippery road surfaces may cause
the rear wheel to slip, and may result
in loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
The riding mode will default to ROAD
when the ignition is switched ON, if the
TRACK or RIDER Mode was active the
last time the ignition was switched OFF
with TC set to TRACK or OFF in the
required mode.
Otherwise, the last selected riding mode
will be remembered and activated when
the ignition is switched ON.
