• Riding with your foot resting on the brake
pedal or your hand on the brake lever
may actuate the brake light, giving a false
indication to other drivers. It may also
overheat the brakes, reducing effectiveness.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
(CBR250RAJ)
This vehicle is equipped with 2 Channel
ABS. Operating the front brake lever
applies the front brake. Operating the rear
brake pedal applies the rear brake. For full
braking effectiveness, use both the lever
and pedal simultaneously, as you would
with a conventional vehicle braking system.
As with a conventional vehicle braking
system, excessively hard application of
the brake controls may cause wheel lock,
reducing control of the vehicle.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) designed
to help prevent wheel lock during hard
braking on uneven or other poor surfaces
while running straight. Although the wheel
may not lock if you are braking too hard
in a turn the vehicle can still lose traction,
causing a loss of control.

CBR 250R
In some situations, a vehicle with ABS
may require a longer stopping distance to
stop on loose or uneven surfaces than an
equivalent vehicle without ABS.
ABS cannot make up for road conditions,
bad judgment, or improper operation of
the brakes. It is still your responsibility to
ride at reasonable speeds for weather, road
surface, and traffic conditions, and to leave
a margin of safety.
● ABS is self-checking and always ON.
● ABS may be activated by riding over a
sharp drop or rise in the road level.
It is important to follow the tyre
recommendations (page 30). The ABS
control unit works by comparing wheel
speed. Always use the recommended
front/rear tires and sprockets to ensure
correct ABS operation.
● ABS does not function at low speeds
(approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or
below).
