Traction control systemThe traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when acceler-
ating on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip
(uncontrolled spinning), the traction
control system assists by regulating
engine power as needed until traction
is restored.
WARNING
EWA15433
The traction control system is not a
su bstitute for ri din g appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction d ue
to excessive spee d when enterin g
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while brakin g,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution an d avoi d especially slip-
pery surfaces.
The “ ” indicator light flashes when
traction control has engaged. You may
notice slight changes in engine and ex-
haust sounds when the system has en-
gaged.

3 When the traction control system has
been set to “OFF”, the “ ” indicator
light will come on.
The TCS display indicates the current
TCS setting. There are three settings.
TCS “OFF”
TCS “OFF” turns the traction control
system off.
TCS “1”
TCS “1” minimizes traction control
system assist.
TCS “2”
TCS “2” maximizes traction control as-
sist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled.
TIP
When the vehicle is turned on,
traction control is turned on and
set to “1” or “2” (whichever was
last selected).
 Turn the traction control system
off to help free the rear wheel if the
vehicle gets stuck in mud, sand, or
other soft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 6-16.) Usin g different size d
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation

WARNING
EWA15441
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
makin g any settin g chan ges to the
traction control system. Chan gin g
settin gs while ri din g can d istract the
operator an d increase the risk of an
acci dent.TCS settings can be changed only
when the vehicle is stopped and the
throttle closed.
 Push the TCS switch “ ” to
change the TCS setting to TCS
“1” and push the TCS switch “ ”
to change the TCS setting to TCS
“2”.
 Push the TCS switch “ ” for two
seconds to turn the traction con-
trol system off. 
Push the TCS switch “ ” to turn
traction control back on (TCS will
return to the previous setting).
Resettin g the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable when:  the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.
 excessive rear wheel spin is de-
tected while riding.
 either wheel is rotated with the key
turned to “ON” (such as when per-
forming maintenance).
If the traction control system is dis-
abled, both the “ ” indicator light and
the “ ” warning light will come on.
