Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
(VFR-ABS)
This model is also equipped with an Anti-
lock Brake System (ABS) designed to help
prevent wheel lock up during hard braking
on uneven or other poor surfaces while
running straight. Although the wheel may
not lock up if you are braking too hard in a
−
turn the motorcycle can still lose traction,
causing a loss of control.
In some situations, a motorcycle with ABS
may require a longer stopping distance to
stop on loose or uneven surfaces than an
equivalent motorcycle without ABS.
ABS cannot make up for road conditions,
bad judgment, or improper operation of the
brakes. It is still your responsibility to ride
at reasonable speeds for weather, road
surface, and traffic conditions, and to leave
a margin of safety.
ABS is self-checking and always on.
