Riding in the rain or through
puddles of water.
After the motorcycle has been
washed.
Riding on salted or gritted
roads.
After work has been carried on
the brakes, due to traces of oil
or grease.
Riding on dirt-covered surfaces
or off-road.
Wetness and dirt result in
poor braking efficiency.
Apply the brakes lightly while
riding to remove wetness and
dirt, or dismount and clean the
brakes.
Think ahead and brake in good
time until full braking efficiency is
restored.

Physical limits applicable to
motorcycling
Even ABS Pro is
constrained by the laws
of physics as they apply to
motorcycling. Invariably, it
remains the rider's responsibility
to adapt riding style to riding
conditions.
Do not take risks that would neg-
ate the additional safety offered
by this system.
Availability of ABS Pro
ABS Pro is available in the
RAIN and SPORT riding
modes.
The RACE and SLICK riding
modes are not supported by
the ABS Pro function.
Possibility of a fall not
precluded
Although ABS Pro provides the
rider with valuable assistance and
constitutes a huge advance in
safety for braking with the mo-
torcycle banked for cornering, it
cannot under any circumstances
be considered as redefining the
physical limits that apply to mo-
torcycling. It is still possible for
these limits to be overshot due
to misjudgement or rider error. In
extreme cases this can result in a
crash.
ABS Pro not developed for
race-circuit use
ABS Pro was not developed for
race-circuit use to enhance in-
dividual braking performance
with the motorcycle banked into
corners.
On the contrary, ABS Pro helps
make the motorcycle even safer
for riding on public roads. When
