How to Ride the Motorcycle
104
Optimized Cornering ABS
The optimized cornering Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) is a system that
provides increased control if the ABS is
activated when leaning in a corner while
riding the motorcycle.
A sensor constantly monitors the
lean angle of the motorcycle. If the
motorcycle is leaning in a corner and
the ABS is activated, the system will use
the lean angle measurement to apply
the ABS in a suitable method to assist
the rider to maintain motorcycle control.
Warning
The optimized cornering ABS is a
system designed to assist the rider in
emergency braking situations.
The system is designed to give the
rider increased control should the ABS
be activated while the motorcycle is
leaning in a corner.
The potential increased control that
the optimized cornering braking
system allows under certain conditions
is not a substitute for good riding
practice.
Warning
Always ride within the legal speed limit.
Never ride without due care and
attention and always reduce speed in
consideration of weather, surface and
traffic conditions.
Take care when cornering.
If the motorcycle is leaning in a
corner and the ABS is activated, the
optimized cornering ABS will use
the lean angle measurement from a
sensor to apply the ABS in a suitable
method to assist the rider to maintain
motorcycle control. The optimized
cornering ABS will not however be
able to fully counteract the weight
and momentum of the motorcycle and
braking too hard while cornering may
result in loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
Under some circumstances it is
possible that a motorcycle equipped
with optimized cornering ABS may
require a longer stopping distance
than an equivalent motorcycle without
ABS, or an equivalent motorcycle
equipped with ABS but not equipped
with optimized cornering ABS.
