The V-Strom 650 is equipped with Suzuki’s Advanced Traction Control
System*, which lets the rider control the throttle with more confidence
in various riding conditions. It continuously monitors front and rear
wheel speeds, throttle opening, engine speed, and the selected
transmission gear to adjust engine output if wheel spin is detected.
• There are three traction control modes (1, 2, and OFF), and the
difference between the modes is their sensitivity to road conditions.
Mode 1 is the lowest sensitivity level, most suitable for skilled riders
or in conditions with good road surface grip (riding on good, smooth
roads). Mode 2 is the highest sensitivity level, suitable for road condi-
tions where the grip may be limited (wet or cold surfaces).
OFF disengages all traction control features.
• Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist feature seamlessly adjusts engine speed
during takeoff and low-speed riding to smooth the power delivery. It
also helps reduce the possibility of the rider stalling the motorcycle.
• This V-Strom also features the Suzuki Easy Start System, which lets
the rider start the motorcycle with a momentary press of the start
button without pulling in the clutch lever when the transmission
is in neutral.
