Danger of accidents Driving aids can reduce the probability of
a fall only within physical limits.
It is not always possible to compensate for certain riding situ-

gravity, varying road surfaces, steep descents or full braking

The ABS operates with two independent brake circuits (front and rear
brakes). When the ABS control unit detects a locking tendency in a
wheel, ABS begins regulating the brake pressure. The control function
causes a slight pulsing of the hand and foot brake levers.
