Reconnect the battery, positive (red) lead first.
Use only DOT 4 specification brake fluid as listed in the General Information section of this manual. The use
of brake fluids other than those DOT 4 fluids listed in the General Information section may reduce the
efficiency of the braking system leading to an accident.
Observe the brake fluid handling warnings given earlier in this section of the manual.
Fill and bleed the front brakes (see Bleeding the Front Brakes, Renewing Brake Fluid).

ABS - System Description
This model is fitted with an electronic, partially integrated, Optimised Cornering Anti-lock Brake System
(OCABS) which is designed to prevent the wheels from locking or skidding by reducing braking effort to the front
or rear brake caliper when wheel-lock is detected.
The system consists of a hydraulic modulator and ABS ECM assembly mounted to a bracket to the right hand
side of the frame near the headstock, a front wheel speed sensor mounted to the front fork, a rear wheel speed
sensor mounted to the rear bevel box and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) mounted beneath the seat bridge.
The front pulser ring is mounted to the left hand brake disc and the rear pulser ring is mounted to the rear bevel
box hub.
The front and rear master cylinders are connected by lines to the modulator and from the modulator the pipes
connect to the brake calipers.
The front and rear brakes are partially integrated electronically by the ABS ECM. When the front brake is
applied, the ABS ECM will also apply a small amount of rear brake for balanced braking. The amount of rear
