range between 40 and 180 km/h
(25 and 112 mph).

standstill and – ignition OFF –
the system is switched off and
the stored road speed is can-
celled.

OEOptional extra
d Warning:
Do not engage cruise control
when:
– Riding on twisty roads with poor forward vision
– Heavy traffic does not enable
you to maintain a constant
road speed
– Riding on wet, unpaved or dirty roads
The motorcycle might exceed
your chosen cruise control
speed if the engine's braking
effect is insufficient on a down-
hill gradient. It could also drop
below this speed when you
ride uphill.
For safety reasons, always
keep both hands on the
handlebars.
