motorcycling
WARNING
Braking when cornering
Risk of crash despite ABS Pro
Invariably, it remains the rider's
responsibility to adapt riding
style to riding conditions.
Do not take risks that would
negate the additional safety
offered by this system.
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 mo-
torcycle banked for cornering, it
cannot under any circumstances
be considered as redefining the
physical limits that apply to mo-
torcycling. 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 cornering,
within the physical limits that ap-
ply to motorcycling the system
prevents the wheels from locking
and skidding away.
NOTICE
ABS Pro was not developed
to enhance individual braking
performance with the motor-
cycle banked into corners in situ-
ations approaching the limits of
performance.
