S-KTRC is an intelligent system that calculates the slip level of the rear wheel (wheelspin) and is suitable for sports riding conditions. S-KTRC is designed to function on public roads.
Acceleration may be delayed under certain circumstances depending on road conditions. S-KTRC cannot respond to every condition.
WARNING S-KTRC cannot protect the rider from all possible hazards and is not a substitute for safe riding practices. All riders must be aware of how the S-KTRC system operates and its limitations. It is still your responsibility to ride at appropriate speeds and throttle control for weather, road surface and traffic conditions. |
The S-KTRC functions at 5 km/h (3.1 mph) or more, and stops functioning at 4 km/h (2.5 mph) or below.
WARNING Use of nonrecommended tires could cause a malfunction or improper operation of S-KTRC. Always use recommended standard tires for this motorcycle. |
MODES
The S-KTRC determines the traction control characteristics with three mode selections. The S-KTRC can also be set to OFF.
The S-KTRC and the Power mode can be set separately. By combining each setting, the rider can get various riding feelings.
MODE 1:
The S-KTRC least intervenes among the three modes. This makes lengthy drifts and wheelies possible when exiting tight corners.
MODE 2:
There is more S-KTRC intervention compared tomode 1. Thismakes slight drifts possible when exiting tight corners.
MODE 3:
The S-KTRC intervenes early enough to prevent the rear wheel from spinning whenever possible.
