Adjusting the basic position of the hand brake lever

Info
In the Supermoto ABS mode, the rear wheel may lock and
there is a risk of falling.
The Supermoto ABS mode is only available in riding mode
SPORT.
The ABS operates with two independent brake circuits (front and
rear brakes). When the ABS control unit detects a locking ten-
dency in a wheel, ABS begins regulating the brake pressure. The
control function causes a slight pulsing of the hand and foot brake
levers.

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 lights up while riding, this indicates a
malfunction 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, the vehicle must be stopped and the
ignition switched off. The ABS is reactivated when the vehicle is
switched on again. The ABS warning lamp goes out when you start
off.
Info
The motorcycle has an additional 5-D sensor. The 5-D sen-
sor makes the ABS control dependent on the angle of incli-
nation and pitch. This can prevent locking and slipping of
the wheels during braking when the vehicle is inclined (rid-
ing in curves) within the physical possibilities.
