Bike Hold Control
Bike Hold Control assists the rider by engaging the rear brake, when requested, to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards or forwards without the need for the rider to constantly apply the brakes.
The ability for the system to hold the bike stationary may be affected by loose or slippery surfaces or high slope angles. The rider must always exercise caution when engaging Bike Hold Control and remain prepared to take control of the bike.
Avoid engaging Bike Hold Control on non-asphalted surfaces or inclines greater than 30%.
