NOTE: In some situations, a
motorcycle with ABS may require
a longer stopping distance to stop
on loose or uneven surfaces than
an equivalent motorcycle without
ABS.
WARNING
Inexperienced riders tend to
under utilize the front brake.
This can cause excessive stop-
ping distance and lead to a col-
lision. Using only the front or
rear brake can cause skidding
and loss of control.
Apply both brakes evenly and
at the same time.
WARNING
Braking while turning the
motorcycle can be hazardous,
whether or not your motorcycle
is equipped with ABS. ABS can
not control wheel side-slips
that occur when you brake
hard while turning and the
side-slips could cause loss of
control.
Slow down sufficiently in a
straight line before you begin
to turn and avoid other than
slight braking while turning.
WARNING
Failure to use good judgment
with ABS can be hazardous.
ABS cannot make up for bad
road conditions, bad judge-
ment, or improper operation of
the brakes.
Remember that ABS will not
compensate for poor judg-
ment, incorrect braking tech-
niques, or the need to slow
down over bad roads or in poor
weather conditions. Use good
judgment and do not ride faster
than conditions will safely
allow.
