ABS Option Descriptions
Warning
The Off-Road ABS option is NOT
intended for use with normal, on-road
riding.
In the Off-Road ABS setting, optimised
cornering ABS is disabled and the level
of ABS intervention is adapted for
off-road riding.
Use of the rear brake pedal in this
situation can cause the rear wheel to
lock under heavy braking.
Riding on-road with the ABS set to
Off-Road can lead to instability when
braking which may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
If the ABS is disabled, the brake
system will function as a non-ABS
braking system. In this situation
braking too hard will cause the wheels
to lock, and may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
General Information
• Road - Optimal ABS setting for road
use.
• Off-Road - Optimal ABS setting for
off-road use as follows:
Front Brake Lever Operation
If the front brake lever is operated
only, the partially integrated braking
system will also apply a small
amount of rear brake as described in
Braking on page 115.
In this situation, the level of ABS
intervention is optimised for off-road
riding for both front and rear
wheels.
Rear Brake Pedal Operation
If the rear brake pedal is operated at
any point, all rear braking input will
be controlled directly by the rear
brake pedal.
Operating the rear brake pedal will
override any rear braking input
applied by the partially integrated
braking system, through use of the
front brake lever.
In this situation, the level of ABS
intervention is optimised for off-road
riding for the front wheel, but the
rear wheel will be allowed to lock
under heavy braking.
Use of the rear brake pedal alone will
only apply the rear brake and the
rear wheel will be allowed to lock
under heavy braking.
Optimised cornering ABS is disabled
for the Off-Road ABS setting.
The ABS warning light will flash
slowly (see page 25).
• Off - ABS is turned off. The ABS
warning light will be illuminated (see
page 25).
