Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
u The tires slip more easily on such
surfaces and braking distances are
longer.
Avoid continuous braking.
u Repeated braking, such as when
descending long, steep slopes can
seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness. Use engine braking
with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both
the front and rear brakes together.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
This model is 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 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 front/rear
tires and sprockets to ensure correct ABS
operation.
