Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
ABS is a safety system that prevents locking of the wheels when driving straight ahead without the
inuence of lateral forces.
With the assistance of ABS when fully braking or braking in gritty, ponding, sliding or other low-adhesive
force road conditions, the vehicle will handle with full brake force and will not lock the wheels, which could
cause an accident�
DANGER
It is not always possible to prevent vehicle rollover in extreme riding situations, e�g� luggage/cargo
loaded with a high center of gravity, varying road surfaces, steep descents, full braking without the clutch
released� Adapt your riding style to the road conditions and your driving ability�
ABS operates with two independent brake circuits (front and rear brakes) � When the brake electronics
control unit detects a locking tendency in a wheel, ABS begins regulating the brake pressure� Operators
will feel the regulating process as a slight pulsing of the hand or foot brake levers�
When turning on the ignition switch, the ABS indicator should light up and go out after driving has started�
If the ABS indicator does not go out after driving has started, or if it lights up during driving, this indicates
that there is a fault in the ABS system� If a fault occurs, ABS will not work, and the wheels may lock during
heavy braking� The brake system stays fully functional, but ABS is not available to correct potential wheel
lock-up�
