How to Ride the Motorcycle
92
Warning
ABS operates by comparing the
relative speed of the front and rear
wheels.
Use of non-recommended tyres can
affect wheel speed and cause the ABS
not to operate, potentially leading
to loss of control and an accident
in conditions where the ABS would
normally function.
Optimised Cornering ABS
The optimised cornering ABS is a
system designed to provide increased
control should the ABS be activated
whilst the motorcycle is leaning in a
corner.
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 manner most suitable to
assist the rider maintain motorcycle
control.
For more information on function
availability, see page 50.
Warning
The optimised cornering ABS is a
system designed to help the rider in
emergency braking situations.
The system is designed to give the
rider increased control should the ABS
be activated whilst the motorcycle is
leaning in a corner.
Warning Continued
The potential increased control that
the optimised 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 optimised cornering ABS will
use the lean angle measurement
from a sensor to apply the ABS in
a manner most suitable to help the
rider maintain motorcycle control.
The optimised cornering ABS will not
however be able to fully counteract
the weight and momentum of the
motorcycle and braking too hard
whilst cornering may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Under some circumstances it is
possible that a motorcycle equipped
with optimised 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 optimised cornering ABS.
