"APRISERENO" TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
The V-Strom 650 XT now features traction control inherited from its big sister. The system continuously monitors wheel speed, throttle position, engine rpm and gear engaged through various sensors. In this way, it controls engine power by managing fuel injection and intake air volume.
Traction control can be adjusted to two levels or turned off. The two modes differ in terms of sensitivity:
- Mode 1: allows moderate rear wheel slip for a more aggressive riding style.
- Mode 2: Activates the system at the smallest loss of grip, to ensure the highest level of confidence on slippery or wet surfaces.
The choice between the two modes can be easily managed by a selector switch on the side of the left knob.
Note: Traction control is not a substitute for rider control of the motorcycle, does not prevent loss of control when cornering or braking too fast, and does not control front wheel traction
