Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Basic Operation & Riding
Braking
It is important to follow the tire recommendations (see page ). The ABS
computer works by comparing wheel speed.
Non-recommended tires can affect wheel speed and may confuse the ABS
computer.
ABS does not function at low speeds (approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or below).
ABS does not function if the battery is discharged.
This model is also equipped with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) designed to
help prevent wheel lock up during hard braking on uneven or other poor
surfaces while running straight. Although the wheel may not lock up if you are
braking too hard in a turn the motorcycle can still lose traction, causing a loss of
control.
In some situations, a motorcycle with ABS may require a longer stopping
distance to stop on loose or uneven surfaces than an equivalent motorcycle
without ABS.
ABS cannot make up for road conditions, bad judgment, or improper operation
of the brakes. It is still your responsibility to ride at reasonable speeds for
weather, road surface, and traffic conditions, and to leave a margin of safety.
ABS is self-checking and is always on.
ABS may also be activated by braking while riding over a sharp drop or rise in
the road level.
