Traction Control indicator staying on

[Ltdan345]

Hey! So I'm American living in Germany (shouldn't matter) and I just got some Pirelli Trail II tires put on today. I noticed after about 70 miles or so my traction control indicator is staying on. Any idea?

Go into your diagnostic settings and see if there is a trouble code.

Check the tone ring sensor. May have been damaged or misaligned when the wheel was removed or re-mounted.

I've had similar issues on Moto Guzzi Cali 1400 motorcycles. On these, there is a setup to recalibrate the system by
riding about 10 seconds on a flat, straight section of road in second gear at a speed of 30 +/- 2 km/h (18.64 +/-
1.24 mph) until CALIBRATION appears on the display.

If tires are replaced with ones of different brands or sizes, then a calibration is required for the traction control to be active again. It was always difficult to maintain the consistent speed required for the system to re-calibrate.

Same might apply to you after changing to different tires.

did they put your front wheel on backwards?

The traction control has been used too often. 😜
You have to reset this at your dealer....😀
A local dealer told me about this problem.

Excuse my ignorance, can the wheel be fitted on the fork lowers backwards? It looks like it might, and if the tire was fitted backwards to the previous one, this would encourage the fitting of the wheel backwards.

Is the tone ring on the right side by any chance?

(you may want to check the rotation of the front tire too afterwards)

Yes, the front wheel can go on ether way.
