ABS WARNING LIGHT AND OPERATION

ABS warning light
• If the ABS warning light comes on while riding, stop the vehicle, and then turn the main switch to
"OFF", then back to "ON". The ABS operation is normal if the ABS warning light goes off after the ve-
hicle starts off.
• If the rear wheel is raced with the vehicle on a suitable stand, the ABS warning light may flash or come
on. If this occurs, turn the main switch to "OFF", then back to "ON". The ABS operation is normal if the
ABS warning light goes off after the vehicle starts off.
• The ABS operation is normal if the ABS warning light flashes.
• Even if the ABS warning light remains on and does not go off, or if it comes on after riding, conven-
tional braking performance of the vehicle is maintained.

WARNING
• When hydraulic control is performed by the ABS, the brake system alerts the rider that the
wheels have a tendency to lock by generating a reaction-force pulsating action in the brake
lever or brake pedal. When the ABS is activated, the grip between the road surface and tires
is close to the limit. The ABS cannot prevent wheel lock* on slippery surfaces, such as ice,
when it is caused by engine braking, even if the ABS is activated.
Use extreme care when operating the vehicle under these conditions.
• The ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance or improve the cornering perfor-
mance.
• Depending on the road conditions, the braking distance may be longer compared to that of
vehicles not equipped with ABS. Therefore, ride at a safe speed and keep a safe distance be-
tween yourself and other vehicles.
• The braking of the vehicle, even in the worst case, is principally executed when the vehicle is
advancing straight ahead. During a turn, sudden braking is liable to cause a loss of traction of
the tires. Even vehicles equipped with ABS cannot be prevented from falling over if braked
suddenly.
• The ABS does not work when the main switch is turned to "OFF". The conventional braking
function can be used.
* Wheel lock: A condition that occurs when the rotation of one or both of the wheels has
stopped, but the vehicle continues to travel.
