14 BRAKE SYSTEM
dency in a wheel, ABS begins regulating the brake pressure. The
control function causes a slight pulsing of the hand and foot brake
levers.
3
The ABS warning lamp must light up after the ignition is
switched on and go out after starting off. If it does not go out after
starting off or if it is lit while riding, this indicates a fault in the
ABS. In this case, the ABS is no longer enabled and the wheels
may lock during braking. The brake system itself stays functional;
only ABS control is not available.
The ABS warning lamp may also light up if the rotating speeds of
the front and rear wheels differ greatly under extreme riding con-
ditions, for example when making "wheelies" or if the rear wheel
spins. This causes the ABS to switch off.
To reactivate the ABS, stop the vehicle and switch off the ignition.
The ABS is reactivated when the vehicle is switched on again. The
ABS warning lamp goes out after starting off.
MSC
The MSC is a supplementary function for the ABS that can prevent
blocking and slipping of the wheels during braking when the vehi-
cle is inclined (riding in curves) within the physical limitations.
By means of the 5-D sensor, the ABS control is now dependent on
the inclination and pitch angle.
ABS control that is dependent on the inclination and pitch angle
improves the riding stability and braking effect in all riding sit-
uations. The MSC also reduces the righting moment during hard
braking in curves. This prevents the motorcycle from righting itself
from an inclined angle and moving along a larger curve radius.
