Riding Precautions

Motorcycle Safety
When the Honda selectable torque control
(Torque Control) detects rear wheel spin
during acceleration, the system will limit
the amount of torque applied to the rear
wheel based on the Torque Control level
set according to the selected riding mode.
Torque Control will allow some wheel spin
during acceleration at the lower Torque
Control levels settings. Select a riding mode
that is appropriate for riding conditions.

Torque Control does not work during
deceleration and will not prevent the rear
wheel from skidding due to engine
braking. Do not close the throttle suddenly,
especially when riding on slippery surfaces.
Torque Control may not compensate for
rough road conditions or rapid throttle
operation. Always consider road and
weather conditions, as well as your skills
and condition, when applying throttle.
If your motorcycle gets stuck in mud, snow
or sand, it may be easier to free it with the
Torque Control temporarily switched off.

Temporarily turning off Torque Control also
may help you maintain control and balance
when riding on off-road terrain.
Always use the recommended tires to
ensure correct Torque Control operation.
