Braking
Slow down in time, shift down to engine-brake first
and then brake applying both brakes. Pull the clutch
lever before stopping the motorcycle, to avoid
sudden engine stop.
ABS
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 braking is statistically higher than at 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 vehicle's
braking force to the fullest during emergency braking,
adverse weather conditions or when pavement is
compromised.
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 deactivated from the
instrument panel by using the "Customizing Riding
Modes: ABS setting " function (see page 109).
