Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
●
The tires slip more easily on such
u
surfaces and braking distances are
longer.
Avoid continuous braking.
●
Repeated braking, such as when
u
descending long, steep slopes can
seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness. Use engine braking
with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both
●
the front and rear brakes together.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) on Front
Wheel
GROM125A only
This model equipped with an Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) designed to help prevent the front
brake from locking up during hard braking.
There is no ABS function to the rear wheel.
●
ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
●
certain circumstances, ABS may result in a
longer stopping distance.
ABS does not function at speeds below 6
●
mph (10 km/h).
The brake lever may recoil slightly when
●
applying the brakes. This is normal.
Always use the recommended front/rear
●
tires and sprockets to ensure correct ABS
operation.

Engine Braking
Engine braking helps slow your motorcycle
down when you release the throttle. For further
slowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Use
engine braking with intermittent use of the
brakes to reduce speed when descending long,
steep slopes.
