FEATURES
1-9
The ABS functions to prevent the tendency of the wheel to lock by controlling the brake fluid pressure.
However, if there is a tendency of the wheel to lock on a slippery road surface, due to engine braking,
the ABS may not be able to prevent the wheel from locking.
WARNING
EWA13870
The ABS controls only the tendency of the wheel to lock caused by applying the brakes. The
ABS cannot prevent wheel lock on slippery surfaces, such as ice, when it is caused by engine
braking, even if the ABS is operating.
Electronic ABS features
The Yamaha ABS (anti-lock brake system) has been developed with the most advanced electronic
technology.
The ABS control is processed with good response under various vehicle travel conditions.
The ABS also includes a highly developed self-diagnosis function. The ABS detects any problem con-
dition and allows normal braking even if the ABS is not operating properly.
When this occurs, the ABS warning light on the meter assembly comes on.
The ABS stores the fault codes in the memory of the ABS ECU for easy problem identification and trou-
bleshooting.
a. Friction force between the tire and road
surface
b. Brake force
c. Side force
d. Slip ratio (%)
