Selecting a Riding Mode – when
Riding the Motorcycle
Warning
The selection of riding modes whilst
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 whilst 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 whilst the
motorcycle is in motion MUST NOT be
attempted:
At high speeds
Whilst 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
setting from the one you are familiar
with, causing loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Press and release the MODE button on
the left hand handlebar switch housing
until the desired riding mode is flashing
in the display.
Within 30 seconds of pressing the
MODE button the rider must carry out
the following simultaneously:
• Close the throttle.
• Pull the clutch in.
• Make sure that the brakes are not
engaged (allow the motorcycle to
coast).
Note:
• The riding mode will default to
ROAD when the ignition is switched
ON.
In the event of an incomplete riding
mode change:
• Safely bring the motorcycle to a
stop.
• Select neutral gear.
• Turn the ignition OFF and then back
ON again.
• Select the desired riding mode.
• Restart the engine and continue
riding.
