Riding Mode Selection
Warning
The selection of riding modes (except
OFF ROAD and OFF ROAD PRO) while
the motorcycle is in motion requires
the rider to allow the motorcycle to
coast (motorcycle moving, engine
running, throttle closed 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 54 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
enabled again 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
RIDER mode was active the last time the
ignition was switched OFF with TC set to
OFF in the required mode.
If the motorcycle was in OFF ROAD
or OFF ROAD PRO riding mode when
the ignition was switched off, then the
riding mode will default to ROAD mode
when the ignition is next switched ON.
