Ride Modes

You can choose between three ride modes, Tour, 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. Once the throttle is disengaged the icon will disappear and the ride mode will change.
To select a ride mode, do the following:
  1. Press right-hand trigger until Ride Md displays.
  2. Hold down on the right-hand trigger. STND, SPORT, or TOUR will display.
  3. Using the right-hand trigger, toggle to change ride mode.
  4. Press and hold right-hand trigger to save settings

Tour

Tour mode provides a smoother throttle respond ideal for riding with a passenger or for long touring rides.

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.
NOTICE
Flashing ride mode means ride mode has been requested, but parameters to change the ride mode have not been met (throttle not in range, etc.) The throttle must be briefly disengaged for the new ride mode to become active, at which point the display stops flashing.
