Depress the S-KTRC button on the left handlebar switch to change the mode. The mode can be changed only when the throttle grip is closed completely.

The S-KTRC OFF can be selected only when the motorcycle is at a stop. Changing to mode 1 from S-KTRC OFF is possible while riding.

Mode-switching

NOTE

  • When changing the mode, stop the motorcycle.
  • The mode is retained if the ignition switch is turned to OFF or if the battery is disconnected.
  • When the ignition switch is turned to OFF, and then back to ON while S-KTRC is OFF, the system will automatically be set to mode 1.
  • If the battery is disconnected and then reconnected while S-KTRC is OFF, the S-KTRC is set in mode 1.

Mode 1: S-KTRC least restrictive among the three modes.

This makes lengthy drifts and wheelies possible when exiting tight corners.

Mode 2: There is more S-KTRC interaction compared to mode 1. This makes slight drifts possible when exiting tight corners.

Mode 3: S-KTRC intervenes to prevent the rear wheel from spinning whenever possible.
