ABS

The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake lever or brake pedal.
In this situation, continue to apply the
brakes and let the ABS work; do not
"pump" the brakes as this will reduce
braking effectiveness.
WARNING
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.

The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.

On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer with
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.

NOTICE
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
"ON" and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a "clicking"
noise can be heard from the hy-
draulic control unit, and if the brake
lever or brake pedal is even slight-
ly applied, a vibration can be felt at
the lever and pedal, but these do
not indicate a malfunction.
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is oper-
ating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer.
