ABS is designed to help prevent the wheels from locking
up when the brakes are applied hard while running
straight. ABS automatically regulates brake force by
intermittently applying and disenagaing braking force to
help prevent wheel lock-up and allow for stable steering
control while stopping. Brake control function is identical
to that of conventional vehicle. The brake lever is used for
the front brake and rear brake.
Although the ABS provides stability while stopping by
preventing wheel lock-up, remember the following
2
characteristics:
ABS can not compensate for adverse road conditions,
misjudgment or improper application of brakes. You must
take the riding precautions as with scooter not equipped
with ABS.
ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance.
On loose, uneven, or downhill surfaces, the stopping
distance of a vehicle with ABS may be longer than that of
an equivalent vehicle without ABS. Use special caution in
such situations.
ABS will help prevent wheel lock-up when braking in
straight line but it cannot control wheel slip which may
caused by braking during cornering. When turning a
corner, it is better to limit braking to the light application of
both brakes or not to brake at all. Reduce your speed
before you get into the corner.

The ABS microprocessor (computer)
compares the vehicle's speed with wheel speed.
Since tires of a different size than those
recommended by KYMCO can affect wheel
speed, they may confuse the microprocessor,
which can then extend the braking distance.
WARNING
Use of non- recommended tires may cause
malfunctioning of ABS and lead to extended
braking distance. The rider could have an
accident as a result. Always use the
recommended size tires for your scooter.
NOTE:
When ABS is functioning, you may feel a
pulsation in the brake lever - this is normal.
Continue to brake normally.
ABS does not function at road speeds of
approximately 6 MPH (10km/h) or less.
ABS does not function if the battery voltage is
very low, or there is a power supply interruption.
The ABS indication light will come in such
instances.
