D-mode (drive mode)D-mode is an electronically controlled
engine performance system. This mod-
el has three mode selections: “STD”,
“A”, and “B”.
WARNING
EWA18440
Do not change the drive mode whilethe vehicle is moving.
With the throttle grip closed, push this
switch to change the drive mode in the
following order:
STD  A  B  STDTIP
Make sure you understand each
drive mode before operating the drive mode switch.

The current drive mode is shown in
the drive mode display (page
4-10).

The current drive mode is savedwhen the vehicle is turned off.
Mode “STD”
Mode “STD” is suitable for various rid-
ing conditions.
This mode allows the rider to enjoy
smooth and sporty drivability from the
low-speed range to the high-speed
range.
Mode “A”
Mode “A” offers a sportier engine re-
sponse in the low- to mid-speed range
compared to mode “STD”.
Mode “B”
Mode “B” offers response that is some-
what less sharp compared to mode
“STD” for riding situations that require
especially sensitive throttle operation.
EAU76434
Traction control systemThe traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when accelerat-
ing on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip (un-
controlled spinning), the traction control
system assists by regulating engine
power as needed until traction is re-
stored.
WARNING
EWA15433
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution and avoid especially slip-pery surfaces.

Setting the traction control system
With the throttle closed, push this
switch down to change from TCS “1” to
TCS “2”. Push up to change from “2” to
“1”.
With the vehicle stopped, push this
switch up for two seconds to turn the
system off. Push down to turn the sys-
tem on.
TIP
The current TCS setting is shown
in the TCS display (page 4-10).

Traction control can be turned on
or off only when the vehicle is
stopped.

When the key is turned to “ON”,
traction control is turned on and set to “1” or “2” (whichever was last
selected).

Turn the traction control system off
to help free the rear wheel if the ve-
hicle gets stuck in mud, sand, orother soft surfaces.
TCS “OFF”
TCS “OFF” turns the traction control
system off.
TCS “1”
TCS “1” minimizes traction control as-
sist.
TCS “2”
TCS “2” maximizes traction control as-
sist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled. The “ ” indicator light flashes when
traction control has engaged. You may
notice slight changes in engine and ex-
haust sounds when the system has en-
gaged.
When the traction control system has
been set to “OFF”, the “ ” indicator
light will come on.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 7-17.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotationaccurately.

Clutch leverThe clutch lever is located on the left
side of the handlebar. To disengage
the clutch, pull the lever toward the
handlebar grip. To engage the clutch,
release the lever. The lever should be
pulled rapidly and released slowly for
smooth clutch operation.
The clutch lever is equipped with a
clutch switch, which is part of the igni-

Shift pedalThe shift pedal is located on the left
side of the motorcycle and is used in
combination with the clutch lever when
shifting the gears of the 6-speed con-
stant-mesh transmission.
When the quick shift system is turned
on, the shift switch senses shift pedal
movement and allows for upshifting
without operating the clutch lever. (See
