Riding Precautions
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) on Front
#
Wheel
This model equipped with an Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) designed to help prevent the front
brake from locking up during hard braking.
There is no ABS function to the rear wheel.
●
ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
●
certain circumstances, ABS may result in a
longer stopping distance.
ABS does not function at speeds below 10 km/
●
h (6 mph).
The brake lever may recoil slightly when
●
applying the brakes. This is normal.
Always use the recommended front/rear tyres
●
and sprockets to ensure correct ABS
operation.

Engine Braking
#
Engine braking helps slow your vehicle down
when you release the throttle. For further slowing
action, downshift to a lower gear. Use engine
braking with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed when descending long, steep
slopes.
Wet or Rainy Conditions
#
Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet
brakes further reduce braking efficiency.
Exercise extra caution when braking in wet
conditions.
If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while
riding at low speed to help them dry.
