bump.

The rider may notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds
when the traction control system is
engaged.
There are six traction control system
modes and an off mode.●
“TCS” mode 1 provides for the
least traction control system as-
sist.
●
“TCS” modes 2 through 6 provide
for more traction control system
assist. Mode 6 provides the most
traction control system assist.

“TCS OFF” mode turns the traction
control system off. The system
may also be automatically dis-
abled in some riding conditions
(see “Resetting” on page 3-23).
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
traction control system is enabled and

abled in the following conditions:
●

Turn the key to “OFF”. Wait at least one
second, then turn the key back to “ON”.

still be ridden; however, have a
