A. KLCM Message
B. Engine Speed Indicator
After turning on the KLCM, shifting into first gear with the motorcycle stopped will activate the KLCM. Even if you turn the throttle grip fully, the engine speed limiter keeps the engine speed at 6 500 r/min (rpm). When starting, keep the throttle grip turned fully and engage the clutch gradually. After the clutch is engaged, the system will control the engine torque to obtain maximum acceleration. KLCM is released when shifted into third gear or when the motorcycle speed reaches 150 km/h (93 mph). Successive use of the KLCM is restricted to protect the engine.
When the KLCM is unable to use, the following warning message blinks.
A. KLCM OFF Warning Message
WARNING
KLCM is for experienced riders. Be sure to understand its characteristics completely before use. Never engage the clutch abruptly or you may lose control and crash, plus sudden high-power transmission may damage the engine.
