ABS
The anti-lock system (ABS) is designed to
prevent locking of wheels during braking.
The ABS controls the braking power auto-
matically and intermittently, allowing the
wheels to gain grip on the road and incre-
asing the vehicle stability.
• For more efficiency, use the front
brake and the rear one at the same
time and in the same manner, as on
a vehicle without ABS.
• The ABS cannot compensate the
road harsh conditions or an impro-
per use of the braking system. Du-
ring braking, act with the same care
as in case of a vehicle without ABS.
• During cornering, it is advisable to
use both brakes in a soft manner and
to reduce the speed gradually. As on
a traditional braking system, a hard
and excessive braking may cause a
sudden lock of the wheels and the
motorcycle loss of control.
• During braking, the ABS will not
prevent the rear wheel from raising
form the ground.
• The ABS control unit always uses the
vehicle speed data and wheel rota-
tion speed. Do not use non-appro-
ved tyres to avoid ABS malfunctio-
ning and cause an extension of the
braking distance.

WARNING
The ABS cannot protect the rider from
any danger and it is necessary to drive
the vehicle in a responsible way. It is
important to know the ABS operation
and its limits.
It is the responsibility of the rider to
drive in a responsible way, according
to the type of asphalt, road and traffic
conditions.
NOTE
• The ABS light may go on during ex-
treme driving conditions or in situa-
tions that lead to a different rotation
speed of the front and rear wheels. In
this situation, it is necessary to bring
the ignition key to "OFF" position, and
then back to "ON" position.
• If the light will still stay on even after
having reached or exceeded the
speed of about 5 km/h, contact an
authorized Benelli service centre for
checking.
• When the ABS is working, a pulsation
may be felt on the brake lever or the
pedal.
• The ABS is not active when the sp eed
is below or equal to about 5 km/h.
• The ABS does not work in case of low
battery.
