Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
(NT700VA)
This model is also equipped with an Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS) designed to help prevent
wheel lock up during hard braking on uneven
or other poor surfaces while running straight.
Although the wheel may not lock up - if you
are braking too hard in a turn the motorcycle
can still lose traction, causing a loss of control.
In some situations, a motorcycle with ABS
may require a longer stopping distance to
stop on loose or uneven surfaces than an
equivalent motorcycle without ABS.
ABS cannot make up for road conditions, bad
judgment, or improper operation of the
brakes. It is still your responsibility to ride at
reasonable speeds for weather, road surface,
and traffic conditions, and to leave a margin of
safety.
ABS is self-checking and always on.

• ABS may be activated by riding over a
sharp drop or rise in the road level.
It is important to follow the tyre reco-
mmendations (page 45). The ABS computer
works by comparing wheel speed. Non-
recommended tyres can affect wheel
speed and may confuse the ABS computer.
• ABS does not function at low speeds
(approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or below).
• ABS does not function if the battery is
discharged.
