momentarily applying extra pressure
to either the front-brake hand lever or
the rear-brake foot control after the
motorcycle has come to a complete
stop. If the rider brakes very hard to a
stop, and holds the brake pressure
after stopping, VHC may also set
without any added squeeze. A VHC
indicator light will illuminate to
confirm that the rider has activated
VHC, and the ABS system will hold
brake pressure after the rider releases

the brake control. VHC is disengaged
automatically as the rider begins to
pull away from a stop, or if the rider
applies and releases either brake
control.
VHC is not to be used as a parking
brake, and will disengage if the rider
lowers the side stand (on models with
a side stand sensor, not a feature in all
markets) or shifts into neutral on
models without a side stand sensor, or
if the engine is turned off. In most
situations after five minutes the
indicator light will flash and the VHC
will release if there is no rider action.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) alerts the rider to low tire air
pressure. Maintaining proper tire air
pressure is important both for vehicle
performance and tire life. The TPMS
displays current front and rear tire
pressure on the Boom! Box GTS screen
(or on the odometer on Road King
models) and displays an indicator to
alert the rider when tire pressure is
low, and the pressure should be
checked.
TPMS is a feature of RDRS and is also
available as a stand-alone accessory
through Harley-Davidson Genuine
Motor Parts & Accessories for 2020
Touring models (except Japan)
equipped with original equipment or
accessory wheels that accept a TPMS
sensor.
