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 hydraulic unit is monitored by
the ABS ECU, which will revert the sys-
tem to conventional braking if a mal-
function occurs.
WARNING
The brake control system is not a
substitute for the use of proper rid-
ing and braking techniques. The
brake control system cannot pre-
vent all loss of traction due to over-
braking from excessive speed, or
lateral wheel slip when braking on
slippery surfaces.
EWA16051
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagnostic
test when the vehicle is started and
reaches a speed of 5 km/h (3 mi/h).
During this test, a clicking noise may
be audible from the hydraulic control
unit, and a vibration may be felt at the
brake lever or pedal, but this is normal.
NOTICE
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.
