for riding at a suitable speed based on weather and road conditions, always leaving
an appropriate safety margin.
Under no circumstances can the ABS system compensate for the rider's misjudge-
ment or improper use of brakes.
NOTE
WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM STARTS WORKING, A VIBRATION IS FELT ON THE
BRAKE LEVER.
THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM OF THE WHEEL DOES NOT PREVENT
FALLS WHILE CORNERING.
AN EMERGENCY BRAKING WITH THE VEHICLE INCLINED, HANDLEBAR
TURNED, ON UNEVEN OR SLIPPERY ROADS, OR WITH POOR GRIP, CREATES
A LACK OF STABILITY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. RIDE CAREFULLY AND SEN-
SIBLY AND ALWAYS BRAKE GRADUALLY.
DO NOT SPEED RECKLESSLY. THE VEHICLE GRIP ON THE ROAD IS SUBJECT
TO LAWS OF PHYSICS WHICH NOT EVEN THE ABS SYSTEM CAN ELIMINATE.
