Combined ABS
Basic Operation & Riding
Braking
This model is equipped with Combined
ABS (Combined Anti-lock Brake System).
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the
system performs a self-analysis and when
the vehicle speed reaches 6 mph (10 km/h)
the system starts to operate and remains on
while riding. Combined ABS is self-
checking.
Combined ABS is an electrically
integrated system consisting of the
Combined Brake System and Anti-lock
Brake System. Combined ABS controls
braking force by accurately monitoring the
amount of force applied to the brakes and
wheel speed. It balances the front-to-rear
braking distribution, and has an anti-lock
function designed to help prevent wheel
lock up during hard braking. Moreover,
Combined ABS helps provide more riding
stability when braking hard and suddenly.
Although the wheel may not lock up, if
you are braking too hard in a turn, the
motorcycle can still lose traction causing a
loss of control. In general, you’ll achieve
the best results by braking while running
in a straight line.
Even if the front brake lever and the rear
brake pedal are operated independently,
the brake force is distributed appropriately
to the front and the rear. However, for full
braking effectiveness, use both the lever
and pedal simultaneously, as you would
with a conventional motorcycle braking
system.
