Braking
It is important to follow the tire recommendations (see page 128). The ABS
computer works by comparing wheel speed.
Non-recommended tires can affect wheel speed and may confuse the ABS
computer.
ABS does not function at low speeds (approximately 6 mph (10 k m / h ) or below).
ABS does not function if the battery is discharged.
Normally, this light comes on when the ignition is turned ON, and goes off after
you ride the motorcycle at a speed above
6 mph (10
k m / h ) If there is an ABS
problem, the indicator light comes on and remains on or blinking. The ABS
system does not operate when the ABS indicator light is on or blinking.
