After setting KLCM, shifting into first gear with the motorcycle stopped will activate 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 KLCM is restricted to protect the engine. When KLCM is unable to use, the following warning message blinks.
