@@RUBBERNMETAL not even how fast it kicked in but just how fast it stood the bike upright! The times the HSTC kicks in on mine is the same experience - 1 accelerating too hard on slippery/wet surfaces and 2 accelerating too hard when turning from a stop (like taking a right hand turn off after a red light). I like how they tuned the traction control, it really only kicks in if it's supposed to. ✌️

Yeah, first time it activated on mine it was quite scary. Its not very smooth because our bike is not ride by wire. That's why the quickshifter is up only, and why it doesnt have any cruise control. But in the 3000km i've done on mine it has saved me more than once. Some of the roundabouts where I live are very polished, and slippery. It also works nice when encountering debris like sand or gravel. In my opinion, every bike should have it. It has actually saved my ass more times than ABS has.

Hi there glad to hear your experience and how it has been useful for you. It’s not a sophisticated setup but it’s useful enough to save us from sticky situations glad to have it.

I've put 20,000 km on my CB650R. Always disable Traction control. Rode on road, wet, rain, semi-off roads, track, never had problem. Sure, I slipped rear wheel a few times in deep lean cornering / U turns, but good delicate throttle hand saved me every time You should test ride a Trident 660 when it comes available later and compare
@RUBBERNMETAL3 жыл бұрын
I don't think the bike would be difficult without traction control its not that powerful. The default setting is on so I don't bother touching it. Small slides are exciting sometimes I get you and yes I'll try and test the Trident once it arrives at our local dealers.

@RUBBERNMETAL3 жыл бұрын
Hi there. No worries big bike theft is not an issue in Malaysia (happens but very rarely) thieves tend to go for the higher range kapcais. The thieves however love to steal brake calipers and brake pumps so the best is to avoid leaving bikes with brembo or high end brake equipment in dodgy areas. Your best deterrents in this case are alarmed caliper brake locks and caliper lock nuts.

@@RUBBERNMETAL I like the idea of a tunable throttle responce in principle, but the trouble is once you add compute cycles to the process you just add latency. A cable throttle, sensitive though it may be, is immediate. It's like your right hand is directly connected to the seat. It's direct and precise, and it allows you to get very precise. You just don't get that with electronic setups ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
