Brake system
This vehicle is equipped with an inte-
grated anti–lock brake system (ABS).
How to operate the brakes:
Operate the brake lever and brake
pedal the same as you would conven-
tional brakes. If wheel slip is detected
while braking, ABS will activate and a
pulsating sensation may be felt at the
brake lever or brake pedal. Continue to
apply the brakes and let the ABS work.
Do not pump the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
The ABS performs a self–diagnostic
test when the vehicle starts off and
reaches a speed of 5 km/h (3 mi/h).
During this test, a clicking noise may
be audible from the hydraulic control
unit, and some vibration may be felt at
the brake lever or pedal, but this is nor-
mal.
Anti–lock brake system (ABS)
The anti–lock brake system (ABS) acts
on the front and rear brakes indepen-
dently.
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.
On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer with
the ABS than without.
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.
