Motorcycle Safety
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
u The wheels lock more easily on such
surfaces, and braking distances are longer.
Avoid continuous braking.
u Repeated braking can overheat the brakes,
reducing their effectiveness.
Combined ABS (VT750C2S only)
Your motorcycle’s rear brake system is linked to
the front brake. This means that operating the
rear brake pedal applies the rear brake and a
portion of the front brake. Operating the front
brake lever applies only the front brake.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both the
lever and pedal together.
This model is also equipped with an Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS) designed to help prevent
the brakes from locking up during hard braking.
ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
certain circumstances, ABS may actually
result in a longer stopping distance.
ABS does not function at speeds below 6
mph (10 km/h).
The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightly
when applying the brakes. This is normal.
Always use the recommended tires to ensure
correct ABS operation.
