I can not find the post on how to turn off TCS on Canadian bikes, centre stand 2nd gear 30 plus second or something like that?? Any canucks figure out a switch or easier way to turn it off?
Found myslef on an early season ride where it would have been nice off trail to drift the bike and break the rear end free!! TCS is awesome but sometimes too awesome in the dirt/mud/snow to keep momentum and quick turns from happening
Thanks guys

TCS off is via the button on the left side of the instrument panel. You're remembering the early videos for disabling the ABS. Doesn't seem to work with the North American bikes though.

As Don said. Left side (not the front side). Hold the button in until the TCS light comes on.

You will like it but your rear tire won't.

You press and release to go from TCS1 to TCS2. From there, Press and hold for 2 seconds should turn TCS off, until you turn the ignition off next time, in which case it re-sets to TCS1.

edit- good catch cbr, you do have to be stopped. I may count slowly. ;)

I can turn mine off by Pressing and Holding from TCS1 or TCS2.
