to suit the rider's individual
needs and preferences.
Possibility of a fall not
precluded
Although ABS Pro and
Dynamic Brake Control
provide the rider with valuable
assistance and constitutes a
huge advance in safety for
braking with the motorcycle
banked for cornering, it cannot
under any circumstances be
considered as redefining 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 and Dynamic Brake Con-
trol help make the motorcycle
even safer for riding on public
roads. When the brakes are ap-
plied because of an unforeseen
hazard when the motorcycle
is banked for cornering,
within the physical limits that
apply to motorcycling the
ABS Pro system prevents
the wheels from locking
and skidding away. In panic
braking, Dynamic Brake Control
increases the braking effect
and intervenes if the throttle
grip is accidentally turned
during braking.
ABS Pro was not
developed to enhance
individual braking performance
with the motorcycle banked
into corners.
