pedal.
EAU91461
Brake control system (BC)
The brake control system regulates hy-
draulic brake pressure for the front and
rear wheels independently when the
brakes are applied and wheel lock is
detected. This system has two settings
which can be changed in the settings
MENU. (See page 4-18.)
BC1 is standard ABS, which adjusts
brake pressure based on vehicle
speed and wheel speed data. BC1 is
designed to engage and maximize
braking when the vehicle is upright.
BC2 uses additional data from the IMU
to regulate applied brake power when
cornering to suppress lateral wheel
slip.
Regarding ABS, operate the brakes as
you would conventional brakes. When
the brake control system engages, a
pulsating sensation may be felt at the
brake lever or brake pedal as the hy-
draulic unit rapidly applies and reduces
brake pressure. In this situation, conti-
nue to apply the brake lever and brake
pedal to allow the ABS to work—do
not “pump the brakes” as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.

The brake lever is equipped with a
brake lever position adjusting dial. To
adjust the distance between the brake
lever and the throttle grip, push the
brake lever away from the throttle grip
and rotate the adjusting dial. Make
sure the setting number on the adjust-
ing dial aligns with the match mark on
the brake lever.
pedal down. (See page 6-3.)
The shift rod is equipped with a shift
sensor, which is part of the quick shift
system. The shift sensor reads up and
down movement, as well as the strength
of the input force when the shift pedal
is moved.
TIP
To prevent unintended shifts, QSS is
programmed to ignore unclear input
signals. Therefore, be sure to shift us-
ing quick and sufficiently forceful in-
puts.
