interesting that there is no wheelie control adjustment but the launch control has to use some type of wheelie control.
I wonder if the wheelie control is always active or only turned on when launch control is activated
I wonder if the restrictions on the use of launch control can be adjusted with a flash (hint!)?
The manual says out can only be used with in a certain temperature range and it has to wait a certain amount of time between uses.
that's out of my control, depends what woolich comes up with, I though most of the restrictions were reasonable except having to go so far before you could set it again
I am more concerned with being able to adjust tc and mode while moving
on my ducati wheelie control and traction control are individually adjustable, not that I feel the h2sx needs it but it would be nice

I tried it out today. But I did it in traction control mode 2.
I did singe work on the bike today so after i took it out for a test drive to make sure everything was ok i decided to check out the launch control. I was only in my helmet and jeans because i just hopped on the bike after finishing the work i was doing so I wasnt going to to go all out.
I've had the bike in Full Power mode from day 1. I put the traction control in mode 2 just to make sure it wasn't going to get too crazy on me. Then I held the power and mode buttons at the same time until KLCM ON was displayed. I clicked into first gear and held the throttle open. It held its self at 6000 rpms. I let the clutch out and took off. It'll take a little getting used to in order to have complete faith in the system but it wasn't to abrubt. Next time I go ride I'll put it in TC 1 and see how that does. In TC 2 I think I could accelerate just as fast without the launch control.

I figured out how to turn it on... Then I pulled the bike into the garage

Not brave enough yet.

Try it with a higher traction control setting. It's not that bad. But I would make sure it wasn't pointed towards the garage when you decide to let it rip.

I went out on a long ride through the mountains today. There's a few wide open stretches that you can see for miles. I decided to try out the full launch control in TC1.
It works pretty well I found if I get really forward on the bike and lay on the tank it keeps the front down really good and the bike hardly cuts power to keep the front down. I still have trouble letting the clutch out fast enough to really take advantage of the feature, I gotta retrain my brain to trust it.
