2. The lever lock pin should release
from the lever lock pin stopper
and unlock the rear brake lever.
TIP
Use the rear brake lever lock while
seated.
WARNING
Never apply the rear brake lever lock
while the vehicle is moving, other-
wise loss of control or an accident
may result. Make sure that the vehi-
cle is stopped before applying the
rear brake lever lock.

ABS

This model's ABS (anti-lock brake sys-
tem) acts on the front brake system.
Operate the brakes as you normally
would with a conventional brake sys-
tem. If the ABS is activated, a pulsating
sensation may be felt at the front brake
EWAN0010
lever. In this situation, continue to ap-
ply the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not release and re-apply the brakes
(i.e., pump the brakes) as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
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.

TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagnosis test
each time the vehicle first starts off af-
ter the main switch is turned on and the
vehicle has traveled at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher. During this test,
a clicking noise may be audible, and a
vibration may be felt at the brake lever,
but these do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
NOTICE
EWA16051
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.
