Braking
Slow down in time, shift down to engine-brake first
and then brake applying both brakes. Pull in the clutch
lever before the motorcycle comes to a stop to
prevent the engine stalling.
ABS system
Using the brakes correctly under adverse conditions
is the hardest – and yet the most critical - skill to
master for a rider. Braking is one of the most difficult
and dangerous moments when riding a two wheeled
vehicle: the possibility of falling or having an accident
during this difficult moment is statistically higher than
any other moment. A locked front wheel leads to loss
of traction and stability, resulting in loss of control.
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has been
developed to enable riders to use the vehicles braking
force to the fullest possible amount in emergency
braking or under poor pavement or adverse weather
conditions.
ABS uses hydraulics and electronics to limit pressure
in the brake circuit when a special sensor mounted to
the wheel signals the electronic control unit that the
wheel is about to lock up.
This avoids wheel lockup and preserves traction.
Pressure is raised back up immediately and the
control unit keeps controlling the brake until the risk
of a lockup disappears.
Normally, the rider will perceive ABS operation as a
harder feel or a pulsation of the brake lever and pedal.
The front and rear brakes use separate control
systems, meaning that they operate independently.
Likewise, the ABS is not an integral braking system
and does not control both the front and rear brake at
the same time.
If desired, the system can be disabled from the
instrument panel, using the “ABS setting function”
(see page 71).
