So I have a question on my 890 regarding the interaction of TC and Wheelie control. The manual doesn't really give any info. I have the tech pack on my 890 with track mode and the 9 levels of TC, etc. I know if I am in track mode and have wheelie control on, it will basically not let the front end come up at all. My question comes in that if I have wheelie control off, and I typically ride in slip level 4, the bike will wheelie but does TC still have a play in how high or how much wheelie it will let the bike do? That is, higher TC levels let less of a wheelie happen and lower TC levels let more?

Just curious if anyone has experimented with this as I am not a good wheelie guy, lol.

Subjective but you get the idea.

level 1-3 track only
level 4-7 street depending on preference and conditions
level 8-10 rain or very low grip conditions

To answer your question about TC, yes. The higher slip you set, the more TC intervienes. Set less if you want less intervention.
Also depends on what you're trying to do, Clutch up?, Power wheelie?

Leave AWC on and ride mode will decide how much the front tire is allowed to come up. If you stay in sport mode you can bring the front tire up 8-10" and ride it thru an intersection b4 it comes back down. I've left AWC off and learned how to use the throttle. While i'm not 'riding wheelies it's fun to do 'pop ups' and that's giving me some confidence.
