The HRC-Launch Control System reduces slip and assists for an effective start by temporarily decreasing the rev limit when starting.
You can select the rev limit level while the system is operating according to your skill and track conditions.
To change the level
Start the engine and wait more than 2 seconds.
Close the throttle completely, press and hold the start button while pulling the clutch lever in until the launch control system indicator blinks (purple).
The system goes into standby, and the launch control system indicator indicates the selected level by blinking (purple).
From standby, the control to decrease the rev limit starts.
The system may become disabled if you snap the throttle excessively.
If the idle speed is low, the system may not go into standby. Set the idle speed to standard rpm.
To disable the system, quickly press the start button. The launch control system indicator stops blinking.

To operate the system
Perform steps 1 and 2 in “To change the level”.
Shift into 1st or 2nd gear.
When launching, open the throttle halfway or more. The system operates.
The reduced rev limit is controlled and will gradually return to normal in a few seconds. Once the rev limit returns to normal, the system is disabled.
The launch control system indicator comes on (purple) while the system is operating.
If you open the throttle halfway or more before starting, the control system stops before starting and there is no effect.
If you close the throttle immediately, the system may not operate.
When the launch control system operates, these following conditions will disable launch control:
Vehicle is in 3rd gear
The throttle is completely closed
Make sure that the launch control system indicator is off. If it is not off, the system is not disabled. Quickly press the start button to disable the system.
