full braking without disengaging the gear.
–
Adapt your riding style to the road conditions and your
driving ability.
The ABS operates with two independent brake circuits (front and
rear brakes). During normal operation, the brake system operates
like a conventional brake system without ABS. When the ABS con-
trol unit detects a locking tendency in a wheel, ABS begins reg-

pulsing of the hand and foot brake levers.

after starting off or if it lights up while riding, this indicates a
malfunction in the ABS. In this case, the ABS is no longer enabled
and the wheels may lock during braking. The brake system itself
stays functional; only ABS control is not available.
The ABS warning lamp may also light up if the rotating speeds of
the front and rear wheels differ greatly under extreme riding con-
