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 front brake lever may recoil slightly
●
when applying the brakes. This is normal.
Always use the recommended front/rear
●
tyres to ensure correct ABS operation.
#
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.
