ABS system (02_69, 02_70, 02_71, 02_72)
The vehicle is equipped with a locking ABS system on the front and rear wheel.
The ABS is a hydraulic/electronic device that reduces pressure in the braking circuit
when a sensor placed on the wheels detects a tendency to lock by increasing vehicle
stability during braking more than a conventional braking system and reduce the risk
of falling.
The ABS system improves vehicle control provided that the physical limits of vehicle
grip on the road are not exceeded. The rider is fully responsible for riding at a suitable
speed based on weather and road conditions, always leaving an appropriate safety
margin.
Under no circumstances can the ABS system compensate for the rider's misjudge-
ment or improper use of brakes.
A: Tone wheel
B: Speed sensor
In case of failure of the ABS system, immediately reported to the rider with ABS warn-
ing light on the instrument panel, the vehicle retains the characteristics of a conven-
tional braking system. In case of ABS warning light, reduce speed and go to an
Authorised Service Centre for the appropriate checks. The safety provided by the ABS
does not, in any case, justify risky manoeuvres. The stopping distance may be greater,
compared to a conventional vehicle equipped with traditional braking in the following
conditions:
•
Riding on rough roads, with gravel or snow
•
Riding on roads with holes or bumps
It is therefore recommended to reduce speed in these conditions.
NOTE
A PULSING SENSATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER
WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED.
