ABS System
Always maintain a safe distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be
reduced during extreme road conditions. The braking
distance for motorcycle equipped with an anti-lock braking
system may be longer than for those without it on rough
road conditions. During these conditions the vehicle
should be driven at reduced speeds.
When you apply Front brake under conditions which may
lock the wheels, you feel a corresponding sensation
(pulsation) in Front brake lever. This is normal and it
means your ABS is active.
Also it is recommended to use both front & rear
brakes simultaneously.
Always slow down when cornering. The anti-lock brake
system cannot prevent accidents resulting from excessive
speeds.
