ABS Pro
Physical riding limits
WARNING
Braking in curves
Danger of falling despite ABS Pro
The rider is always responsi-
ble for adapting his/her driving
style.
Do not reduce the system's ex-
tra safety margin with careless
riding or unnecessary risks.
NOTICE
ABS Pro is activated in the
RAIN
,
ROAD
and
DYNAMIC
riding
modes. In the Dynamic Pro
riding mode, ABS Pro can be set
individually.
Falling cannot be excluded
Although ABS Pro and
Dynamic Brake Control represent
valuable support and an
enormous safety advantage for
the rider when braking in an
inclined position, they by no
means redefine the physical
riding limits. It is still possible
to exceed those limits through
misjudgments or riding errors. In
extreme cases this my result in a
fall.
Use on public roads
ABS Pro and
Dynamic Brake Control
help make riding your motorcycle
on public roads even safer.
When braking due to unexpected
hazards in curves, ABS Pro
prevents blocking and slipping
of the wheels within the scope
of the physical riding limits. In
the event of emergency braking,
Dynamic Brake Control enhances
the braking effect and intervenes
if the throttle grip is accidentally
actuated during braking.
NOTICE
ABS Pro was not developed
to increase the individual brak-
ing performance in the inclined
position.
