● When Combined ABS does not function, the
brakes work like a conventional braking
system. On conventional braking systems,
operating the front brake lever applies the
front brake and operating the rear brake
pedal applies the rear brake.
u
The system is always turned off at speeds
less than 4 mph (6 km/h).
● It is important to follow the tire
recommendations (2 P. 115), because the
Combined ABS computer works by
comparing wheel speed. Incorrect tires can
affect wheel speed and confuse the system.
●
Combined ABS may not always reduce
stopping distance over a vehicle equipped
with conventional brakes.
●
Combined ABS does not operate when the
battery level is discharged.
●
Combined ABS does not operate when the
ABS main or ABS motor fuses are burned
out.
You may feel a change in the way the brake
lever/pedal reacts when it is operated under the
following conditions:
● Immediately after turning the ignition switch
to the ON position.
● After braking to a stop and applying the
brakes again.

Engine Braking
Engine braking helps slow your vehicle down
when you release the throttle. For further
slowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Use
engine braking with intermittent use of the
brakes to reduce speed when descending long,
steep slopes.
#
Wet or Rainy Conditions
Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet
brakes further reduce braking efficiency.
Exercise extra caution when braking in wet
conditions.
If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while
riding at low speed to help them dry.
