Combined ABS
CBR1000RA/SA only
Even when the brake lever and brake pedal are
applied separately, the combined ABS
distributes braking pressure between the front
and rear wheels according to braking force and
wheel speed to enhance your stopping power
and stability. The system also controls braking
pressure to prevent wheel lockup. To get the
best results, operate the lever and pedal
together and perform most of your braking in a
straight line to avoid sliding out in a turn.
●
Combined ABS cannot make up for road
conditions, bad judgement, or improper
operation of the brakes, and cannot stop rear
wheel lift completely.
u Never ride faster than conditions permit
and always leave enough space to safely
brake to a stop.
●
When Combined ABS does not function, the
brakes work like a conventional braking
system. On conventional braking systems,
operating the front brake lever applies the
front brake and operating the rear brake
pedal applies the rear brake.
The system is always turned off at speeds
u
less than 6 km/h (4 mph).

It is important to follow the tyre
recommendations (

Combined ABS computer works by
comparing wheel speed. Incorrect tyres can
affect wheel speed and confuse the system.
●
Combined ABS may not always reduce
stopping distance over a motorcycle
equipped with conventional brakes.
●
Combined ABS does not operate when the
battery level is discharged.
●
Combined ABS does not operate when the
ABS main or ABS motor fuses are burned out.
