This traction control system has two operating modes: Mode 1 and Mode 2. Mode 1 is the least intrusive and focuses on performance. When excessive wheel spin is detected, Mode 2 takes over. It also reduces engine output to allow the engine to regain grip. It is useful on slick pavement or bad roads. The system can also be turned completely off.

The same 649cc parallel-twin engine powers the motorcycle. This 650cc engine produces a max power of 68 HP at 8000 RPM and a peak torque of 64 Nm at 6700 RPM. This engine is coupled to a 6-speed transmission with a slipper clutch.
