Physical limits applicable to
motorcycling
WARNING
Braking when cornering
Risk of crash despite ABS Pro
Invariably, it remains the
rider's responsibility to ad-
apt riding style to riding
conditions.
Do not take risks that would
negate the additional safety
offered by this system.
ABS Pro is available in all riding
modes.
Possibility of a fall not
precluded
Although ABS Pro provides the
rider with valuable assistance
and constitutes a huge advance
in safety for braking with the
motorcycle banked for corner-
ing, it cannot under any circum-
stances be considered as re-
defining the physical limits that
apply to motorcycling. It is still
possible for these limits to be
overshot due to misjudgement
or rider error. In extreme cases
this can result in a crash.
