Brake control system (BC)

The brake control system regulates hy-
draulic brake pressure for the front and
rear wheels independently when the
respective brake lever or brake pedal is
applied and wheel lock is detected.
There are two settings, BC1 and BC2.
BC1 is standard ABS, which adjusts
brake pressure based on vehicle
speed and wheel speed data. BC1 is
designed to engage and maximize
braking when the vehicle is upright.
Regarding ABS, operate the brakes as
you would conventional brakes. When
the brake control system engages, a
pulsating sensation may be felt at the
brake lever or brake pedal as the hy-
draulic unit rapidly applies and reduces
brake pressure. In this situation, conti-
nue to apply the brake lever and brake
pedal to allow the ABS to work—do
not "pump the brakes" as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
