Riding with your foot on the brake
pedal or your hands on the brake lever
may actuate the brake light, giving a
false indication to other road users.
It may also overheat the brake,
reducing braking effectiveness leading
to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Do not coast with the engine switched
off, and do not tow the motorcycle.

which can lead to sudden loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

the motorcycle under control when
braking. The
braking distances ABS allows under
certain conditions are not a substitute
for good riding practice.

Note
The ABS operation may feel like a harder
pedal pressure or a pulsation of the
brake lever and pedal.
The ABS is not an integrated braking
system and does not control both the
front and rear brake at the same time
so this pulsation may be felt in the lever,
the pedal or both.
The ABS may be activated by sudden
upward or downward changes in the
road surface.
