ABS (for ABS models)
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS
securely controls wheel lockup during
emergency braking on changing road
surfaces and under various weather
conditions, thereby maximizing tire ad-
hesion and performance while provid-
ing a smooth braking action. The ABS
is monitored by an ECU, which will
have recourse to manual braking if a
malfunction occurs.

● The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.
● On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead to match the riding
speed.
● The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test for a few seconds each
time the vehicle first starts off after
the key was turned to “ON”. During
this test, a “clicking” noise can be
heard from the front of the vehicle,
and if either brake lever is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever, but these do not in-
dicate a malfunction.
● When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake levers, but this does
not indicate a malfunction.
● This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsating at the brake levers when
the ABS is operating. However,
special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er when performing this test.
