Rider Modes - differences

[alex]

Is this list accurate? It was posted in 2011 so I assume it's for the pre-facelift. Does anyone have the same for post facelift, HP4 and 2015?

2009-2011 Rider Modes

1. Power Mode: Rain: Power is cut to 150 bhp, reduced torque, and the throttle response is more gentle.
* 5% throttle dampening
* The braking force is applied to both front and rear wheels (partially integral brakes)
* Rear wheel ABS operates even when only the rear foot brake is used
* The system detects if the rear wheel is lifting (stoppie protection)
* Wheelie protection operates at 29 degrees lean angle and wheelie angle max 33 degrees, 5 second front wheel lift maximum
* Reduces rear wheel spin
* Increased traction and stability even when the frictional coefficient spikes suddenly
* Power freeze lean angle 38 degrees

2. Power Mode: Sport (which is the default setting):
* Full power (193 at the \crank, approx 183 rwhp) with a fast but smooth throttle response.
* 5% throttle dampening
* The braking force is applied to both front and rear wheels (partially integral brakes)
* Rear wheel ABS operates even when only the rear foot brake is used
* The system detects if the rear wheel is lifting (stoppie protection)
* Wheelie protection operates at 29 degrees lean angle and wheelie angle max 33 degrees, 5 second front wheel lift maximum
* DTC is slower to intervene than in Rain Mode, so slight drifts are possible when exiting corners
* Power freeze lean angle 45 degrees

3. Power Mode: Race:
* Full power but instant throttle response.
* No throttle dampening.
* The braking force is applied to both front and rear wheels (partially integral brakes)
* Rear wheel ABS operates even when only the rear foot brake is used
* No rear wheel lift detection (stoppie protection)
* Wheelie control none
* DTC even slower to intervene so longer drifts and brief wheelies are possible when exiting corners
* Power freeze lean angle 48 degrees

4. Power Mode: Slick (coding plug required to be inserted):
* Full power 193hp with ram air at 160km/h 200hp
* No throttle dampening, an aggressive and instant throttle response.
* The braking force is applied to both front and rear wheels (partially integral brakes)
* ABS does not operate when only foot brake is used
* No rear wheel lift detection
* Wheelies control none
* Power freeze lean angle 53 degrees

Pretty much what i was told. Only thing others disagree with is being able to wheelie in race mode. That says you can although others say not.

 

[soofsayer]

On the HP4 the power is the same in all modes

Pretty sure there is wheelie control in race mode.

 

[powders]

Yeah when I bought my '11 non sport that's what I read too but I've used all the modes and find a huge difference between sport and race
For me sport has a big flat spot between roughly 5 - 7 rpm which is where I want a bit of oomph for overtaking etc. I was really disappointing when I first bought the bike but then discovered race mode which seems to fill in the hole and gives you instant go

 

[alex]

From that, it sounds like the best use of a PCV is to remove that flat spot in Sport so you can have full power yet all of the electronics.

Does that mean you cannot flip the bike when trying to wheelie ?? That is my greatest fear, hence want to go to wheelie-school. !!

 

[alex]

You can if you're really stupid. But under normal use you can't flip one.

 

[Ant]

You mean if you're wheelie stupid Alex ;-)

Na not for the 15. There is full wheelie control in sport. Some wheelie control in Race mode (6 inches at most) Power is cut to somewhere around 180bhp in wet.

 

[Mick753]

Anyone know if they changed anything when they went to the facelift in 2012 then, quite interested to see what the differences are although in fairness I started off in Race but had to drop to Sport as the Supercorsas didn't like the wet

 

[alex]

I'd like to make full lists for the different versions to date. So if anyone has absolutes on it then point me at it.

great idea!! as I have bought a 2011 non sport and not 100% sure what exactly it has and hasn't got with regards to aids/electronics.
