Physical limits applicable to
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.
ABS Pro and the as-
sisting function of the
Dynamic Brake Control are
available in all riding modes.
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 Control
help make the motorcycle even
safer for riding on public roads.
When the brakes are applied
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. During emergency
braking, Dynamic Brake Control
increases the braking effect and
intervenes when the throttle grip
is accidentally actuated during
the braking process.
NOTICE
ABS Pro was not developed to
enhance individual braking per-
formance with the motorcycle
banked into corners.
Parking your
motorcycle
Side stand

ATTENTION
Poor ground underneath the
stand
Risk of damage to parts if vehicle
topples
Always check that the ground
under the stand is level and
firm.
