Yes, Default KTRC is mode 1. Unless you are under a condition that requires this function, Id recommend Turning it off every time you start up the bike. Ive made it a ritual. Only if it raining, will I put this on 1.
My bike also has ABS. To me this is enough safety. I actually want to spin the tire sometimes. And I dont want my wheelies affected either.
So I just have to say, Off is best. Just my opinion
