displayed). Exiting the settings
menu by pressing and holding the
wheel switch may not save set-
tings changes.
“Display Setting”
This module allows you to switch the
lap time mode and tachometer color
mode ON/OFF.
When the lap time mode is selected,
the twin vehicle in formation displays on
the main screen will display a lap timer
and a lap counter. To exit the lap time
mode, the turn lap timer OFF in the dis-
play setting module.
To change the tachometer to color
mode, select ON. “Manual TCS Setting”
This module allows you to customize
the “TCS-MODE M” which is accessi-
ble on the main display using the
MODE switches.
Traction control system
This model uses a variable traction
control system. For each setting level,
the further the vehicle is leaned over,
the greater the amount of traction con-
trol (system interv
ention) is applied.
There are 3 setting levels available for
the “TCS-MODE M”.
Setting level 1 applies the least amount
of overall system intervention, while
setting level 3 applies the greatest
amount of overall traction control.
TIP
The traction control system can
only be turned on or off via the
main screen using the MODE
switches.

SCS and LIF can be turned off in-
dependently of traction control
system for “TCS-MODE M”.

When “TCS-MODE” has been set
to “OFF” on the main screen: trac-
tion control system, SCS and LIFare all turned off together.
SCS
SCS can be set to OFF, 1, 2, and 3.
OFF turns the slide control system off,
setting level 1 provides the least
amount of system intervention, and set-
ting level 3 provides the greatest
amount of system intervention.
LIFLIF can be set to OFF, 1, 2, and 3.
Setting level 1 provides the least
amount of system intervention and set-
ting 3 most strongly reduces the rate of
wheel lift.
OFF turns LIF off.

13 “Vehicle Setting”
The vehicle setting module allows you
to adjust setting for the BC and quick
shifter.
BC
The brake control system has two set-
tings, BC1 and BC2. Select BC1 when
only standard ABS is desired. Select BC2 to have the brake control system
further regulate brake pressure while
cornering to suppress lateral wheel slip.
TIPFor skilled riders and when riding at the
track, due to varying conditions, the
BC2 brake system may engage sooner
than expected relative to your desired
cornering speed or intended corneringline.
Quick shifterThe quick shifter indicators are divided
into QS and QS sections. QS
and QS are not linked and can be in-
dependently turned on or off.
The quick shifter can be set to ON or
OFF.OFF turns the respective upshift or
downshift function off, and the clutch le-
ver must then be used when shifting in
that direction.
TIPIf the quick shifter setting cannot be
changed: turn the engine off with the
gear position set to neutral, thenchange the setting.
“Shift Indicator”
This module allows a custom shift indi-
cator to be set. When the engine r/min
(rotations per minute) are in the speci-
fied range, the gear indicator will flash.
This module has 3 options:
“IND Mode” - the shift indicator can be
turned ON/OFF

“IND Start” - the r/min at which the indi-
cator starts flashing can be chosen.
Once selected, rotate the wheel switch
up/down to increase or decrease the
r/min value by increments of 200 r/min.
“IND Start” is settable between 6000 -
12800 r/min.
“IND Stop” - the r/min at which the indi-
cator stops flashing can be chosen.
Once selected, rotate the wheel switch
up/down to increase or decrease the
r/min value by increments of 200 r/min.
“IND Stop” is settable between 6200 -
13000 r/min.
“Maintenance”
This module allows you to record the
distance traveled between engine oil
changes (use the OIL item), and for two other items of your choice (use INTER-
VAL 1 and INTERVAL 2).
To reset a maintenance trip meter, se-
lect it and then press and hold the
wheel switch.
TIPMaintenance item names cannot bechanged.
“Unit”
This module allows you to switch the
display between metric and imperial
measurement units.
When using kilometers, the fuel con-
sumption units can be changed be-
tween “km/L” or “L/100km”. When
using miles, MPG will be available.
Temperature units can be switched be-tween Celsius and Fahrenheit.
“Brightness”
This module allows you to adjust the
general brightness level of the display
screen.
Select the desired brightness level by
rotating the wheel switch, and then
press the wheel switch to fix the setting
and return to the top MENU screen.

Clutch leverTo disengage the drivetrain from the
engine, such as when shifting gears,
pull the clutch lever toward to the han-
dlebar. Release the lever to engage the
clutch and transmit power to the rear
wheel.TIPThe lever should be pulled rapidly and
released slowly for smooth shifting.(See page 6-3.)

Brake pedalThe brake pedal is located on the right
side of the motorcycle. To apply the
rear brake, press down on the brake
pedal.
EAU91461
Brake control system (BC)The brake control system regulates hy-
draulic brake pressure for the front and
rear wheels independently when the
brakes are applied and wheel lock is
detected. This system has two settings
which can be changed in the settings
MENU. (See page 4-17.)
BC1 is standard ABS, which adjusts
brake pressure based on vehicle speed
and wheel speed data. BC1 is de-
signed to engage and maximize brak-
ing when the vehicle is upright. BC2
uses additional data from the IMU to
regulate applied brake power when
cornering to suppress lateral wheel slip.
Regarding ABS, operate the brakes as
you would conventional brakes. When
the brake control system engages, a
pulsating sensation may be felt at the
brake lever or brake pedal as the hy-
draulic unit rapidly applies and reduces
brake pressure. In this situation, contin-
ue to apply the brake lever and brake
pedal to allow the ABS to work—do not
“pump the brakes” as this will reduce
braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.

On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer withthe ABS than without.
The ABS hydraulic unit is monitored by
the ABS ECU, which will revert the sys-
tem to conventional braking if a mal-
function occurs.WARNING
EWA20891
The brake control system is not a
substitute for the use of proper rid-
ing and braking techniques. The
brake control system cannot pre-
vent all loss of traction due to
over-braking from excessive speed,
or lateral wheel slip when braking onslippery surfaces.TIPThe ABS performs a self-diagnostic

4. After starting out, close the throttle, and at the same time, quickly pull
the clutch lever in.
5. Shift the transmission into second gear. (Make sure not to shift the
transmission into the neutral posi-
tion.)
6. Open the throttle part way and gradually release the clutch lever.
7. Follow the same procedure when shifting to the next higher gear.
EAU85380
To decelerate1. Release the throttle and apply both the front and the rear brakes
smoothly to slow the motorcycle.
2. As the vehicle decelerates, shift to a lower gear.
3. When the engine is about to stall or runs roughly, pull the clutch le-
ver in, use the brakes to slow the
motorcycle, and continue to down-
shift as necessary.
4. Once the motorcycle has stopped, the transmission can be shifted
into the neutral position. The neu-
tral indicator light should come on and then the clutch lever can be
released.
WARNING
EWA17380

Improper braking can cause
loss of control or traction. Al-
ways use both brakes and apply
them smoothly.

Make sure that the motorcycle
and the engine have sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a low-
er gear. Engaging a lower gear
when the vehicle or engine
speed is too high could make
the rear wheel lose traction or
the engine to over-rev. This
could cause loss of control, an
accident and injury. It could also
cause engine or drive train dam-age.
EAU16811
Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.

Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engine.

Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
