Moto Guzzi V85 TT - Owner's Manual > Mapping selection

The engine control unit has 3 different "riding modes" for managing the electronic accelerator, displayed as follows in the lower middle part of the digital display:

• ROAD
• RAIN
• OFF ROAD

The ROAD mode is designed for touring use of the vehicle.

The OFF ROAD mode is not suitable for road use. It is designed for use on various low grip surfaces.

CAUTION

WE RECOMMEND USING THIS MODE ON LOW GRIP SURFACES. IT IS RECOMMENDED FOR OFF ROAD USE.

TRACTION CONTROL IS NOT VERY INVASIVE.

ONLY IN THIS MODE THE ABS SYSTEM REMAINS ACTIVATED ONLY FOR THE FRONT WHEEL AND A SPECIAL SYMBOL APPEARS ON THE DIGITAL DISPLAY WHICH REMINDS THE RIDER TO TAKE SPECIAL CARE.

The RAIN mode is designed for use of the vehicle on wet surfaces or in conditions of poor grip. The system supplies torque gradually to prevent loss of grip. In this mode, the vehicle performance is limited, and therefore, the maximum speed cannot be reached.

EVEN IN THIS MODE, ALWAYS USE PARTICULAR CAUTION WHEN RIDING IN POOR GRIP CONDITIONS.

You can pass through the various riding modes using the starter button that, 3 seconds after the engine has started, acts as a "Riding mode selection button".

CAUTION

THE RIDING MODE SELECTION PROCEDURE IS ONLY ACTIVE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND THE THROTTLE RELEASED. THIS PROCEDURE CAN ALSO BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE MOTORCYCLE MOVING AND THE THROTTLE RELEASED.

IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO CARRY OUT THE PROCEDURE WITH THE THROTTLE OPEN, BUT THE EFFECTIVE PASSAGE TO THE NEW RIDING MODE SELECTED WILL ONLY TAKE PLACE WHEN THE THROTTLE IS CLOSED. IN THIS CASE, THE ICON WILL FLASH.

To change the riding mode, proceed as follows:

• If you press the button once, the symbol of the riding mode currently applied will flash.
• If you press the button again within 1.5 seconds of the first time, the next riding mode will be selected and will flash. If more than 1.5 seconds elapse without pressing the button (which would select the next available riding mode), and the throttle grip is not used, the new riding mode lights up permanently on the display indicating that the new riding mode has been implemented.

CAUTION

IF THE THROTTLE IS USED WHEN THE NEW DESIRED RIDING MODE IS FLASHING ON THE DISPLAY (THEREFORE STILL BEING ACCEPTED BY THE CONTROL UNIT), THE NEW RIDING MODE SELECTED WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVELY APPLIED UNTIL THE THROTTLE IS RELEASED.

IF THE PROCEDURE IS CARRIED OUT WITH THE THROTTLE OPEN, THE NEW RIDING MODE SELECTED WILL CONTINUE TO FLASH UNTIL THE THROTTLE IS RELEASED.
