Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

This model's ABS features a dual elec-
tronic control system, which acts on
the front and rear brakes independent-
ly.
EWA12362
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not "pump" the
brakes as this will reduce braking ef-
fectiveness.
WARNING
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
 The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.
 On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer with
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
