January 21, 201610 yr Can anyone tell me first hand about the mapping difference, in terms of what you feel through the throttle, and is the delivery easier to handle, when you switch it into the low traction mode?
January 21, 201610 yr No such thing as traction mode, its a handy thought but the best traction controll is you,
January 21, 201610 yr Author I thought it had a "slippery" mode and a normal mode, or something like that. And I was wondering if the slippery mode was a lot less abrupt power delivery. I don't like abrupt.....
January 21, 201610 yr My 2016 Cota 4RT 260 has a mode switch, but I haven't checked it in wet conditions yet; we still have snow on the ground...
January 22, 201610 yr 300RR manual says mode 1 Normal mode 2 Power. Try mine first time tomorrow so will let you know. In car park it feels the same at low revs but mode 2 comes in stronger on mid range.
January 23, 201610 yr Tried today . Low revs cant tell the difference however transition mid range to high revs is much quicker map 2. Bike however is very docile and will pull from nothing. Traction excellent at low revs both maps. Not fiery in slightest. Pals all concluded the same. Weight difference is noticeable.
January 25, 201610 yr 2kg but most weight reduction is in wheels forks and suspension . It feels like more than 2kg over 15 repsol. Fairly easy and cheap to get another bit of weight off. Bank sensor . Stand .tank breather lights all at zero cost and then it's how much you want to spend .
January 25, 201610 yr It will feel front lighter with a more powerful engine won't it? Just a thought.
January 25, 201610 yr My 15 std felt lighter than my 09, especially front end - could just the be lighter forks .
January 27, 201610 yr Author I have been searching for either a new 260 or 300 and feel lucky to have found one, it's a 300, so that will be the one. Thank you for the posts.
