Will it grip or dig a trench? 9 side by side mud runs in: Rain, Street, Off-Road and Rally TC modes.

Ever wondered about the differences in the Traction Control settings on the 890 & 790 Adventure bikes? (Me too....since 99% of the time I ride everywhere in Rally mode on Slip 3...though I will toggle up and down on the slip settings once in a while.)

9 Slip settings in Rally mode alone? Then there's Rain mode, Street mode and Off-Road mode - but what does it all mean? 12 options to choose from for traction control - but which one is right for any surface?

Basically, it's been raining so much that right now the back yard is more or less just mud with some grass on top of it - a very good test track for low traction environments. The grass visually shows the traction differences better than in straight up mud, and it's slightly uphill.

So, since it's me and I have no adult supervision - I do side by side runs on the grass in my boggy paddock to show you the differences in how it goes in all of the modes....so you get to ride along and see if I can go full throttle, then we look at how much it controlled the back wheelspin, and you can see and hear how fast it will let it go. Excited yet?

It was hot and muggy work my friends...I sweated through 3 singlets changing rear wheels and doing this video...then raking it over afterwards....whew - the things I do for you guys (and in this case that's a generic 'guys' which includes all pronouns)! Did someone say it was time for a beer? :)
