ABS
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not “pump” the
brakes as this will reduce braking ef-
fectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient
d
istance
from the vehicle ahea

to match the

The ABS performs

the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the main switch is
turned to “ON” and the vehicle has
traveled at a speed of 10 km/h (6
mi/h) or higher. During this test, a
“clicking” noise can be heard from
the front of the vehicle, and if ei-
ther brake lever is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever, but these do not indicate a
malfunction.
