154 RIDING
ABS Pro
Physical limits applicable to
motorcycling
WARNING
Braking when cornering
Risk of crash despite ABS Pro
Invariably, it remains the
rider's responsibility to ad-
apt riding style to riding
conditions.
Do not take risks that would
negate the additional safety
offered by this system.
ABS Pro is available in all riding
modes.
Possibility of a fall not
precluded
Although ABS Pro provides the
rider with valuable assistance
and constitutes a huge advance
in safety for braking with the
motorcycle banked for corner-
ing, it cannot under any circum-
stances be considered as re-
defining the physical limits that
apply to motorcycling. It is still
possible for these limits to be
overshot due to misjudgement
or rider error. In extreme cases
this can result in a crash.
Use on public roads
ABS Pro helps make the mo-
torcycle even safer for riding on
public roads. When the brakes
are applied because of an un-
foreseen hazard when the mo-
torcycle is banked for corner-
ing, within the physical limits
that apply to motorcycling the
ABS Pro system prevents the
wheels from locking and skid-
ding away.
ABS Pro was not
developed to enhance
individual braking performance
with the motorcycle banked
into corners.
