Braking
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
(Models equipped with 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.
ABS may also be activated by braking while riding over a sharp drop or rise in
the road level.
