of tyre and maintain specified tyre pressure
(page 55).

Always maintain sufficient distance from the
objects/vehicles ahead, for proper braking
and to match riding speed.

On certain surfaces, such as rough road or
gravel road, brake lever may have hard/
pulsating feel. Apply full braking on the

Check your brake pads and be sure you
have clean brake fluid. ABS systems can
also fail due to worn brake pads or air or dirt
in brake fluid.
Now whenever you will apply front brake,
ABS will come into picture and based on the
input from wheel speed sensor, HECU will
modulate the pressure at front caliper thus
avoiding wheel to lock and in turn resulting
safe stop of the vehicle.

Whenever you ride your vehicle, Wheel
speed sensor monitors the speed of the
wheel and sends the input to Hydraulic
Electronic control unit (HECU). Then
HECU monitors your bike and takes control
when vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h.
The system has a wheel speed sensor (1),
hydraulic electronic control unit (HECU) (2),
and an ABS indicator lamp (3) on meter
console.
