Linked Braking System
The front and rear brakes on the motorcycle are linked. The front brake lever activates only
the front brake calipers. The rear brake pedal activates the rear brake caliper fully while
simultaneously activating one of the three pistons in each front brake caliper.
For maximum brake effectiveness, apply the front brake lever and the rear brake pedal
together, as with a conventional (non-linked) brake system.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) (if equipped)
This system is a linked brake system. The anti-lock brake system automatically reduces or
increases brake pressure as needed to provide optimum braking control, reducing the chance
of wheel lock-up during hard braking events or when braking on rough, uneven, slippery or
loose surfaces. See page 74.
