OVERVIEW AND OPERATION
ABS
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) acts on the front brake.
The ABS system consist of one wheel sensor, ECU and Hydraulic unit and
ABS yellow warning lamp. Only the front wheel is controlled.
Always keep a sufficient distance from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
•
The ABS performs best with long braking distances.
•
On certain surfaces, such as rough or gravel roads, the braking
distance may be longer with the ABS than without.
How to operate the brakes
Operate the right brake lever and left brake lever same as you would
conventional brakes. If front wheel slip is detected while braking, ABS will
activate, and a pulsating sensation may be felt at the brake lever. Continue to
apply the brake and let the ABS works. Do not pump the brakes as this will
reduce brake effectiveness.
•
The ABS performs a self-check when you first start off. During this time,
a clicking noise from the hydraulic unit may be audible, and if the brake
lever or brake pedal is applied a vibration can be felt, but this not a
malfunction.
•
The brake system will revert to a conventional brake system in case of
ABS malfunction.
CAUTION
Be careful not do damage the wheel sensor or wheel sensor rotor;
otherwise, improper performance of the ABS will result.
