What is the load-dependent control
system? (V-STROM 1050XT)
The load-dependent control system
controls the braking force of the front
and rear brakes according to the num-
ber of riders and the motorcycle loading
condition.
Generally, stronger braking is required
when the motorcycle is heavy com-
pared to when it is light. The front and
rear linked braking system uses the
ABS unit to control the rear brake force
according to the front brake input by the
rider in order to reduce differences in
braking force due to the difference in
motorcycle weight.
The system learns the brake force cor-
responding to the motorcycle weight
and controls the brakes according to
brake forces calculated
learned data.
Fluctuations in weight due to the num-
ber of riders and the motorcycle loading
often occur when the ignition switch is
turned off, and the required braking
force also changes, so the learned data
is reset each time the ignition switch is
turned off.

The load-dependent control system
starts when the ignition switch is
turned on.
The more learning that occurs after
the ignition switch is turned on, the
closer the load-dependent control
system makes the braking force
approach the force suitable for the
motorcycle weight.
The load-dependent control system
does not operate if no learned data
exists, such as when the brakes are
applied for the first time after the
ignition switch is turned on. Since
