Technical data

Be prepared during hard breaking
for the rear wheels to lift up off
the road surface.
Risk of accident, because
ABS on the rear wheel is
switched off.
Be prepared during hard breaking
for the rear wheels to lock.
When this mode is selected, the
controller of the DTC system
assumes that the motorcycle is
running on racing tyres with max-
imum grip (slicks). Long wheelies
are possible and the same ap-
plies to wheelies at slight angles
of heel, and it is important to
bear in mind that under these
circumstances it is also possible
that the motorcycle might flip
over backwards!
The behaviour of the DDC is the
same as in RACE mode.
Mode changes
A mode change involves func-
tions in the engine management
system, the ABS and the DTC
and is possible only in certain op-
erating states:
No drive torque at the rear
wheel
No brake pressure in the brake
system.
In order to achieve this state,
The motorcycle must be at
a standstill with the ignition
switched on
or
The throttle twistgrip must be
in the fully closed position,
The brake levers must be in
the released positions,
The clutch lever must
be pulled and the clutch
disengaged.
The desired riding mode is ini-
tially preselected. The mode
change does not take place until
the systems in question are all in
the appropriate state.
The selection menu does not
disappear from the display un-
til the mode change has taken
place.

ABS
Partially integral brakes
Your motorcycle is equipped with
partially integral brakes. Both
front and rear brakes are applied
when you pull the handbrake
lever. The footbrake lever acts
only on the rear brake.
The integral braking func-
tion makes it very difficult
to spin the rear wheel by opening
the throttle with the front brake
applied to keep the motorcycle
