Re: GSX-S 750
It's on automatically on bikes that are equipped with it. Most you can turn it off.
The mt07 doesn't have TC

Re: GSX-S 750
I'm tempted to take it to Santa Pod and do some comparison runs with the traction control off and on to see which is faster.

Re: GSX-S 750
In what, I think the electronics are better than me, I'm just winding the throttle and letting the TC sort it out, the same goes for braking, the ABS sorts out my cack handed brakingweeksy wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 5:52 pmGet to Pembrey and teach us all a few lessonsLe_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 5:51 pm I'm tempted to take it to Santa Pod and do some comparison runs with the traction control off and on to see which is faster.

Re: GSX-S 750
Glad you like the bike, there aren't any bad bikes these days and yours is an ace example of a lot of technology and knowhow being put into a very affordable package.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 5:55 pm

Is your ABS and TC adjustable? unless I'm really titting about on my Monster, neither kick in on the road.

Re: GSX-S 750
The ABS isn't, the TC has off and 3 modes, all of them prevent wheelies, which is what I think is triggering the TC, it doesn't feel like the rear is starting to spin in the dry, but it does feel like it would wheelie without the TC. I am revving it to 10-11 in first gear when the light is flashing.

Re: GSX-S 750
The TC on your gsx hasn’t got an IMU, this means it isn’t lean angle sensitive so is a more basic system. Tbh I’d turn it off each ride as it’ll interfere especially with wheelies

Re: GSX-S 750
Yes, I think I may have bought it because I like the colour, certainly it's why I noticed it, everything else seems to have quite subdued colours, even the green Z900RS is a pale pasty green rather than the vivid lime green that Eddie Lawson made famous

Re: GSX-S 750
Been out on it again, little 20 mile round trip to Felixstowe and back, roads were wet, had to clean it when I got back. Wore my £180 Ducati Arai with the fancy Sun visor.

Re: GSX-S 750
What do people think of this screen
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164719655026 ... SwLGpgNQ9q
It's a little pricey, but it comes with a new dash cover that the screen mounts onto, it's not too big and looks okay - wish I could say it looks good, but none of them do.
