INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

proach surfaces that may be
slippery with caution and avoid es-
pecially slippery surfaces.
There are three traction control system
modes:
● “TCS” mode “1”: Default mode
● “TCS” mode “2”: Sporty mode
This mode decreases traction con-
trol system assist, allowing the
rear wheel to spin more freely than
“TCS” mode “1”.
● “TCS” mode “Off”: The traction
control system is turned off. The
system may also be automatically
disabled in some riding conditions
(see “Resetting” on page 4-18).
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
traction control system is enabled and
“TCS” “1” displays in the multi-function
meter.
The traction control system mode can
be changed only when the key is in the
“ON” position and the vehicle is not
moving.
TIP
Use “TCS” mode “Off” to help free the
rear wheel if the motorcycle gets stuck
in mud, sand, or other soft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16800
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 7-19.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation
accurately.
Setting the traction control system
WARNING
EWA15440
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
traction control system. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
Push the traction control system switch
on the multi-function meter for less than
one second to change between “TCS”
modes “1” and “2”. Push the switch for
at least two seconds to select “TCS”
mode “Off” and turn the traction control
system off. Push the switch again to re-
turn to the previously selected mode “1”
or “2”.
Resetting
The traction control system will be dis-
abled in the following conditions:
● The rear wheel is rotated with the
centerstand down and the key in
the “ON” position.
● Either the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.
● Excessive rear wheel spinning
If the traction control system has been
disabled, both the traction control sys-
tem indicator/warning light and the en-
gine trouble warning light come on.
