Kawasaki GTR1400 traction control explained

[JPThomp7]

Only one way to find out if it works, pin it and pray

[gangsta078]

they really havent thought about when your cornering and loose the back end... its going to make everyone highside -.-

[gangsta078]

especially if you throw it into the corners in the uk like the promo vid rider does

[NATEMAN360]

no more burnouts ahaha.

[sorrycharly5750]

I guess it would be good for noobie rider but for people that know what a clutch is, why would they need it? Just one more thing to break on your bike!

[SarcasmFilms]

Wouldn't this cause you to high side rather than low side the bike if you lean too far on normal road???

[MrButterscotch1]

Why would you high side on a lean with the KTRC system? It makes sure your wheels are rotating at the same speed, thus making sure the bike stays stable and that you don't get thrown off due to instability?

It's a good idea, though I know more than a few riders who prefer manual controls over a machine/computer getting involved.

[kuhlka]

Because you can still lose lateral grip while leaned over (think tire choice and condition of tires). This won't magically make you stick like glue while riding over gravel/water/oil... with the bike leaned over. I think chances of high/lowside would be the same.

It may make some riders over-confident in corners thinking they can just ride over that huge patch of sand at a 45deg lean because their 'traction control' will handle it.

Handy for putting around on gravel or in the rain though.

[rapidrhys09]

no cuz u can turn it on and off..great video.

[meleta86]

Para la calle no se, la mía va sin control de tracción y no tengo problemas, pero para la competición no vale

[ftpaddict]

I wan to see this thing working.

[DARKRIGUE]

apricots you can turn it off... so yes burouts!

[apricotsnms516]

no more burnouts??? darn.. :P

[strangletmuh]

who wheelies a bike like that?!

[jonysuave]

so, if it acts by measuring differences between spin in front and back wheel, it means no wheelie...

[UzamiX]

or dyno-tests

[newengland72]

Yeah, but you can turn it off...

[imran88]

just the turn off the KTRC. easy
