No problem switching between T & S while on the go, just pull in the clutch and switch. Having TC off while on a dry, clean road will not do anything except allowing you to break free the rear wheel whenever you want ;DBorghi said:Is it OK to switch between sport and touring mode while you are moving but not applying throttle? Are there any advantages to turning the traction control off while driving on dry paved roadways?
Nealy impossible to wheelie in TCS1. TCS2 will shut down a wheelie very quickly. TCS off allows you more control over wheelies. I've often been surprised watching video I shot seeing the TCS blinking in TCS2 on hard acceleration. I don't recall feeling any spin in those spots. When I want to make sure the bike is giving me everything I'm requesting I do turn off TCS.Borghi said:Are there any advantages to turning the traction control off while driving on dry paved roadways?
I was wondering about that when I answered...I always pulled in the clutch.fredz43 said:You don't need to pull the clutch in to switch between T and S, but you do have to close the throttle.
I use T as my rain mode. My wife has never experienced the bike in S mode. She's in for a big surprise.RED CAT said:Why bother with T Mode at all? Just leave it in S all the time. ::001::
I can't get the old girl on the bike. Bike time is time apart. T mode may be better off road where you may not want as responsive an engine. I'm thinking like the Multistrada reduces engine power for enduro mode.Dirt_Dad said:I use T as my rain mode. My wife has never experienced the bike in S mode. She's in for a big surprise.
I prefer T-mode for urban areas, dirt, and freeways. The smoother more relaxed throttle response is nice, especially in stop n go traffic. I put it in S mode in the twisties, when I feel like being more sporty, or if I need the acceleration. Flick of a switch. No worries.RED CAT said:Why bother with T Mode at all?
