For the first time on a Versys 650, the 2022 model is equipped with Kawasaki’s advanced traction control system that allows for enhanced sport riding performance and greater rider confidence. The system looks at a variety of factors for an accurate, real-time picture of conditions and acts before slippage exceeds the range for optimal traction and rider confidence. Two modes allow riders to adjust the system’s settings to suit the riding conditions and rider’s preference. In Mode 1, which is the least intrusive, the system helps manage traction during cornering and facilitates acceleration out of corners. Mode 2 allows for earlier intervention and reduces engine output when excessive wheel spin is detected, allowing for the tire to get maximum grip. Riders also have the option to turn the traction control system off using the switch located on the handlebar.
