Kawasaki Ninja Service Manual: Mode-switching

Kawasaki Ninja Service Manual / General Information / Technical Information-Sport-Kawasaki TRaction Control System (S-KTRC) / Mode-switching

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.
