Abs - Yamaha V MAX VMX17YC Owner's Manual

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

ABS

The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
1
rear brakes independently. The ABS is
monitored by an ECU (Electronic Con-
2
trol Unit), which will have recourse to
manual braking if a malfunction occurs.

WARNING
●
The ABS performs best on long
4
braking distances.
●
On certain (rough or gravel)
5
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
6 ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehi-
cle ahead to match the riding
7
speed.

TIP
● When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
9
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake lever or brake pedal,
but this does not indicate a mal-
function.
● This ABS has a test mode which
EAU46390 allows the owner to experience the
pulsating at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is oper-
ating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer when performing
this test.

ing in improper performance of the
