Kawasaki TRaction Control
(KTRC)

KTRC is an intelligent system that
calculates the slip level of the rear
wheel (wheelspin) during acceleration
and controls the optimum slip ratio to
suit the riding conditions. KTRC can
contribute to a stable ride not only for
sports riding but also when riding on a
rough or slippery road surface.

KTRC is designed for use on public
roads. KTRC cannot respond to ev:
ery condition. Acceleration may be de-
layed under certain conditions.
