system allows more pronounced slipping at the rear
allowing vehicle yaw or slide, so as to permit a more
sporty and faster corner entry. This control activates
when the user acts on the rear brake during a
sufficiently strong braking also at the front. During
the operation of this system, the ABS monitors
vehicle slipping or slide level, so that it remains
below a safety level, which depends on the lean
angle. If vehicle slipping or slide level increases too
much, the ABS operates again in standard mode,
realigning the vehicle in order to always ensure the
maximum safety.
In ABS level 3, associated by default to STREET
Riding Mode, besides the cornering function, also
the lift-up control is active. This control prevents rear
wheel lift-up, thus allowing the vehicle to keep a
good alignment during the whole braking action.
Attention
Using the two brake controls separately
reduces the motorcycle braking power. Never use
the brake controls harshly or suddenly as you may
cause rear wheel lift-up and lose control of the
motorcycle. When riding in the rain or on slippery
surfaces, braking will become less effective. Always
use the brakes very gently and carefully when riding
under these conditions. Any sudden manoeuvres
may lead to loss of control. When tackling long,
high-gradient downhill road tracts, shift down gears
to use engine braking. Apply one brake at a time and
use brakes sparingly. Keeping the brakes applied all
the time would cause the friction material to
overheat and reduce braking power dangerously.
Underinflated and overinflated tyres reduce braking
efficiency, handling accuracy and stability in a bend.
