ABS
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS
EWA12361
securely controls wheel lockup during
emergency braking on changing road
surfaces and under various weather
conditions, thereby maximizing tire ad-
hesion and performance while provid-
ing a smooth braking action. The ABS
is monitored by an ECU, which will
have recourse to manual braking if a
malfunction occurs.
WARNING
G
The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.
G
On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehi-
cle ahead to match the riding
speed.
TIP

The ABS performs a self-diagno-

NOTICE
Keep any type of magnets (including
magnetic pick-up tools, magnetic
screwdrivers, etc.) away from the
front and rear wheel hubs, otherwise
the magnetic rotors equipped in the
3-13
sis test for a few seconds each
time the vehicle first starts off after
the main switch was turned on.
During this test, a "clicking" noise
can be heard from the front of the
vehicle, and if either brake lever is
even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever, but these
do not indicate a malfunction.
G
When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake levers, but this does
not indicate a malfunction.
G
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsating at the brake levers when
the ABS is operating. However,
special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er when performing this test.
