WARNING
to
Braking while turning the motorcycle
can be hazardous, whether or not
your motorcycle is equipped with
ABS. ABS can not control wheel
side-slips that occur when you brake
hard while turning and the side-slips
could cause loss of control.
Slow down sufficiently in a straight
line before you begin to turn and
avoid other than slight braking while
turning.
