Ride Command Ride Modes

You can choose between three ride modes, Rain, Standard, or Sport, for an experience customized to your riding style. The throttle map for each ride mode was designed with a specific application in mind, resulting in one motorcycle with three distinct personalities.

NOTICE

For the ride mode to change the throttle must be fully disengaged. If you change the ride mode while the throttle is engaged, a spinning icon will appear indicating that the ride mode has not yet changed. Once the throttle has been disengaged the icon will disappear and the ride mode will change.

Rain

Rain mode is ideal for rainy conditions, or when the road is wet. The throttle response is decreased, giving you more control and traction.

Standard

Standard mode features a crisp throttle response and well-balanced power delivery for responsive passing power and predictable, slow-speed handling.

Sport

Sport mode is designed for situations when instant response is needed. Sport mode quickens the throttle response and has a more aggressive power delivery for increased acceleration.

Traction Control

To disable the traction control, do the following:

Tap on the Traction Control toggle switch to disable traction control.

A prompt will appear asking you to confirm that you want to disable the Traction Control System. Press DISABLE to confirm.

NOTICE

If the traction control is disabled while the throttle is engaged, the traction control will stay active until the throttle has been disengaged.

To re-enable traction control, press the Traction Control toggle switch again.
