shown in one of the following

warning light. Both warning
lights can light up continuously
or flash once or 4 times per
second.

Integral ABS detects the
driver’s request for braking by
the pressure build-up from the
brake lever. There may be an
unusual response from the
brake. You can continue to
ride. However, bear in mind
that the brake may respond in
a manner to which you are not
accustomed.
There is a defect in the
brake system that can
lead to abnormal braking effi-
ciency.
Brake carefully and safely.
