Launchcontrol
Launchcontrol
Launchcontrol supports riders by
maintaining ideal engine revving
for a racing start. Launchcontrol
can only be activated in SLICK
mode.
After Launchcontrol has been
activated, the system maintains
the engine speed at full throttle
at approx. 8000 rpm. After en-
gaging the clutch, torque is con-
trolled, so that maximum drive
is produced at the rear wheel.
The throttle remains at full ac-
celeration. If a speed of 60 km/h
is exceeded, speed limitation is
switched off.
While Launchcontrol is active, the
DTC system is turned off.
Launchcontrol is also turned off
in the following circumstances:
The third gear is engaged.
The angle of inclination is
greater than 30°.
The engine or the ignition is
switched off.
The mode is changed.
The number of consecutive
starts using Launchcontrol is
limited in order to protect the
clutch. The number of possible
starts still remaining is shown in
the multifunction display.
