Manual Description
The traction control system (TCS) helps maintain traction when accelerating on slippery surfaces, such as unpaved 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. When traction control has engaged, the indicator light will flash. You may notice changes in engine response or exhaust sounds.
When the vehicle is turned on, traction control is automatically turned on. To turn the traction control system off, see page 5-11. The traction control system will automatically disable under certain conditions; such as when a sensor fault is detected, or when only one wheel is allowed to rotate for more than a few seconds. Should this happen, the “TCS” indicator light will come on, and possibly the warning light, too.
When the vehicle is on the centerstand, do not rev the engine for an extended period of time. Otherwise, the traction control system will automatically disable and need to be reset.
