Ride Modes
You can choose between three Ride Modes — Rain, Standard or Sport — for an experience customized to your riding style. The throttle map for each Ride Mode was designed with a specific application in mind, resulting in one motorcycle with three distinct personalities.

For the Ride Mode to change, the vehicle must be standing still and the throttle must be fully disengaged. If you change the Ride Mode while in motion, a spinning icon will appear, indicating that the Ride Mode has not yet changed. Once you have come to a complete stop, the icon will disappear and the Ride Mode will change.

Ride modes

Rain mode is ideal for rainy conditions or when the road is wet. The throttle response is decreased, giving you more control and traction. Wheelie mitigation is turned ON in Rain mode.

Standard mode features a crisp throttle response and well-balanced power delivery for responsive passing power and predictable slow-speed handling. Wheelie mitigation is turned ON in Standard mode.

Sport mode is designed for situations when instant response is needed. Sport mode quickens the throttle response and has a more aggressive power delivery for increased acceleration. Wheelie mitigation is turned OFF in Sport mode.

Traction Control/Anti-Lock Brake System
Track mode allows you to disable the Traction Control/Anti-Lock Brake System (TC/ABS). Disabling Traction Control also disables wheelie mitigation.

To disable the TC/ABS, do the following:

1. Tap on TRACK to activate the TC/ABS toggle switch.

2. Tap on the TC/ABS toggle switch to disable TC/ABS.

3. A prompt will appear asking you to confirm that you want to disable the TC/ABS. Press DISABLE to confirm. The ABS indicator lamp will illuminate when TC/ABS is disabled. TC/ABS will not become disabled until vehicle speed is at zero.

4. To re-enable TC/ABS, press the TC/ABS toggle switch again or press the TC/ABS OFF button in sidebar from any screen.
