Suzuki V-STROM 1050 2022 Manual page 29

NOTE:
• If the motorcycle is to be parked on
the side stand on a slight slope, the
front end of the motorcycle should
face "up" the incline to avoid rolling
forward off the side stand. You may
leave the motorcycle in 1st gear to
help prevent it from rolling off the
side stand. Shift to neutral before
starting the engine.
• If an optional anti-theft lock such as
a U-shape lock, brake disk lock or
chain is used to avoid theft, be sure
to remove the anti-theft lock before
moving the motorcycle.
WHEN PUSHING THE MOTORCYCLE
Turn OFF the ignition switch when
pushing the motorcycle.
ABOUT THE BRAKES
What is ABS?
ABS is a device that controls braking
during riding to prevent the wheels from
locking up.
The inertial measurement unit (IMU)
provides ABS control according to the
gradient of the road surface to control
the rear tire from lifting when the front
brake is applied strongly. (V-STROM
1050XT)
Braking is performed using the brake
lever and brake pedal in the same man-
ner as on a motorcycle without ABS.
ABS controls the brake pressure elec-
tronically. This system monitors the
rotational speed of the wheels and
operates to prevent wheel lock-up by
reducing brake pressure when wheel
lock-up is detected.
