Hill Start Assist
The Hill Start Assist (HSA) temporarily keeps
the motorcycle from rolling backward (or
forward) if the brake lever or pedal is
released when stopped on an incline such
as a hill or parking lot slope. Brake hydraulic
pressure is maintained for about 3 seconds
after releasing the brake lever or pedal. This
helps keep the motorcycle from rolling
backward (or forward) when first opening
the throttle grip, thereby assisting smooth
movement and lessening the burden
placed on the rider.
HSA is not a replacement for the parking
brake.
Hill start assist (HSA) indicator:
Comes on in white when the HSA is ready
to work, and flashes while the HSA is
working.
The HSA is activated in the following
conditions:
• Combined ABS indicator goes off
• Motorcycle is stopped completely
• Throttle grip is closed
• Clutch lever is pulled
• Transmission is in gear ( indicator
goes off)
• Side stand is retracted
❙
Activating the HSA
To activate the HSA, squeeze the brake
lever quickly until the Hill start assist (HSA)
indicator comes on in white and hold the
brake lever.
❙
Releasing the HSA
To start the motorcycle, release the brake
lever and gently open the throttle. (The
HSA works about 3 seconds after releasing
the brake lever)
To start the motorcycle, release the brake
lever, and then open the throttle grip while
releasing the clutch lever. (The HSA works
about 3 seconds after releasing the brake
lever)
If you lower the side stand or shift the
transmission to neutral while the HSA is
working, the HSA will be cancelled.
HSA may not prevent the motorcycle from
rolling backward (or forward) if the
motorcycle is on a steep slope.
