General Operation

ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
WARNING! ABS prevents the wheels from locking,
therefore maximizing the effectiveness of the braking
system in emergencies and when riding on slippery
surfaces. The potentially shorter braking distances ABS
allows under certain conditions are not a substitute for
good riding practices.
WARNING! Always ride withi
n the legal speed limit.
WARNING! T
ake care when cornering your motorcycle. If
applying the motorcycle’s brakes while cornering, the ABS
cannot counteract the weight transfer and force. Doing so,
can create unsafe riding conditions. Some riding
conditions and environments may reduce the effectiveness
of the ABS and require stopping distances equivalent to
those of a motorcycle not equipped with ABS.
When the motorcycle is st
ationary and the key is turned to
the ON position, it is normal for the ABS warning indicator
(A) on the dash to illuminate. The indicator will remain on
until the system detects the motorcycle’s speed exceeds
3 mph (5 km/h), after which it will stay off until the key is
cycled of
f and back to the ON position.
Disabling the ABS
WARNING! When the
ABS is disabled, your motorcycle
will operate as a non-ABS equipped motorcycle, with
increased stopping distance and unpredictable brake
control.
To disable the ABS (starting with
the motorcycle at rest on
a level and stable surface and the ignition key in OFF
position):
1. Place kickstand in the down position.
2. Put the Motor Stop Switch in the OFF position.
3. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
4. Press and hold the ADJ b
utton (on dash) and the
MODE button (on right handlebar) simultaneously.
After 4 seconds, the ABS light will begin to flash slowly
(approximately every 1.2 seconds). Release both
buttons.
Note: The ABS light will continue to flash
(approxim
ately every 1.2 seconds) until the key is
cycled off and back to the ON position.
