The front brake lever is located on the

The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic
control system, which acts on the front
and rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation
maybe felt at the brake levers. In this
situation, continue to apply the brakes
and let the ABS work; do not “pump”
the brakes as this will reduce braking
effectiveness.
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
braking dis- tance may be longer
with the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
