Cruise control systemThis model is equipped with a cruise
control system designed to maintain a
set cruising speed.
The cruise control system operates
only when riding in 4th, 5th or 6th gear
at speeds between about 50 km/h (31
mi/h) and 180 km/h (112 mi/h).
WARNING
EWA16341

Improper use of the cruise con-
trol system may result in loss of
control, which could lead to an
accident. Do not activate the
cruise control system in heavy
traffic, poor weather conditions,
or among winding, slippery,
hilly, rough or gravel roads.

When traveling uphill or down-
hill, the cruise control system
may not be able to maintain the
set cruising speed.

To prevent accidentally activat-
ing the cruise control system,
turn it off when not in use. Make
sure that the cruise control sys-tem indicator light “ ” is off. Activating and setting the cruise
control system
1. Push the cruise control power switch “ ” located on the left han-
dlebar. The cruise control system
indicator light “ ” will come on.
2. Push the “SET–” side of the cruise control setting switch to activate
the cruise control system. Your
current traveling speed will be-
come the set cruising speed. The
cruise control setting indicator light
“SET” will come on.
Adjusting the set cruising speed
While the cruise control system is oper-
ating, push the “RES+” side of the
cruise control setting switch to increase
the set cruising speed or the “SET–”
side to decrease the set speed.
TIPPushing the setting switch once will
change the speed in increments of ap-
proximately 2.0 km/h (1.2 mi/h). Hold-
ing the “RES+” or “SET–” side of the
cruise control setting switch down will
increase or decrease the speed contin-uously until the switch is released.
You can also manually increase your
traveling speed using the throttle. After
you have accelerated, you can set a

new cruising speed by pushing the
“SET–” side of the setting switch. If you
do not set a new cruising speed, when
you return the throttle grip, the vehicle
will decelerate to the previously set
cruising speed.
Deactivating the cruise control sys-
tem
Perform one of the following operations
to cancel the set cruising speed. The
“SET” indicator light will go off.

Turn the throttle grip past the
closed position in the deceleration
direction.

Apply the front or rear brake.

Disengage the clutch. Push the power switch to turn off the
cruise control system. The “ ” indica-
tor light and the “SET” indicator light will
go off.
TIPTraveling speed decreases as soon as
the cruise control system is deactivat-ed; unless the throttle grip is turned.
Using the resume function
Push the “RES+” side of the cruise con-
trol setting switch to reactivate the
cruise control system. The traveling
speed will return to the previously set
cruising speed. The “SET” indicator
light will come on.
WARNING
EWA16351
It is dangerous to use the resume
function when the previously set
cruising speed is too high for cur-rent conditions.TIPPushing the power switch while the
system is operating will turn the system
off completely and erase the previously
set cruising speed. You will not be able to use the resume function until a new
cruising speed has been set.
Automatic deactivation of the cruisecontrol systemThe cruise control system for this mod-
el is electronically controlled and is
linked with the other control systems.
The cruise control system will automat-
ically become deactivated under the
following conditions:
The cruise control system is not
able to maintain the set cruising
speed.

Wheel slip or wheel spin is detect-
ed. (If the traction control system
has not been turned off, the trac-
tion control system will work.)

The start/engine stop switch is set
to the “ ” position.

The engine stalls.

The sidestand is lowered.
When traveling with a set cruising
speed, if the cruise control system is
deactivated under the above condi-
tions, the “ ” indicator light will go off
and the “SET” indicator light will flash
for 4 seconds, and then go off.

12 When not traveling with a set cruising
speed, if the start/engine stop switch is
set to the “ ” position, the engine
stalls, or the sidestand is lowered, then
the “ ” indicator light will go off (the
“SET” indicator light will not flash).
If the cruise control system is automati-
cally deactivated, please stop and con-
firm that your vehicle is in good
operating condition.
Before using the cruise control system
again, activate it using the power
switch.
TIPIn some cases, the cruise control sys-
tem may not be able to maintain the set
cruising speed when the vehicle is trav-
eling uphill or downhill.
When the vehicle is traveling up-
hill, the actual traveling speed may
become lower than the set cruising
speed. If this occurs, accelerate to
the desired traveling speed using
the throttle.

When the vehicle is traveling
downhill, the actual traveling
speed may become higher than
the set cruising speed. If this oc- curs, the setting switch cannot be
used to adjust the set cruising
speed. To reduce the traveling
speed, apply the brakes. When the
brakes are applied, the cruise con-
trol system will become deactivat-
ed.

D-mode (drive mode)D-mode is an electronically-controlled
engine performance system. Select
mode 1 for the most aggressive throttle
response, mode 2 for standard throttle
grip/engine response, and use mode 3
for rainy days or whenever less engine
power is desirable.
WARNING
EWA18440
Do not change the drive mode whilethe vehicle is moving.

12 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.
In certain conditions, the traction con-
trol system may be automatically dis-
abled. Should this happen, both the
“ ” indicator light and the “ ” warn-
ing light will come on.
The TCS display (page 4-11) indicates
the current TCS setting. There are four
settings.
TCS “OFF”
TCS “OFF” turns the traction control system off.
TCS “1”
TCS “1” minimizes traction control sys-
tem assist. Select this mode for sporty
riding.
TCS “2”
TCS “2” provides a moderate level of
traction control assist. Select this mode
for standard street riding.
TCS “3”
TCS “3” maximizes traction control as-
sist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled. Select this mode for rain,
slippery road conditions, and whenever
maximum traction control is desirable.
TIP
Traction control can be turned on
or off only when the vehicle is
stopped.

When the key is turned to “ON”,
traction control is turned on and
set to TCS “1”, “2” or “3” (whichev-
er was last selected).

Turn the traction control system off
to help free the rear wheel if the ve-
hicle gets stuck in mud, sand, or
other soft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 7-17.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotationaccurately.
Resetting 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.
Should this occur, try resetting the sys-
tem as follows. 1. Stop the vehicle and turn the key to “OFF”.
