Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
ABS is a safety system that prevents locking of the wheels when
driving straight ahead without the inuence 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�
