How to Ride the Motorcycle
152
Warning
The ABS warning light will illuminate
after three minutes, if the rear wheel is
driven while the motorcycle is on a
stand.
If the motorcycle was ridden prior to
being placed on a stand, this time will
reduced to one minute and the ABS
warning light will be accompanied by
the MIL.
This reaction is normal.
When the ignition is switched off and
the motorcycle is restarted, the
warning light(s) will remain illuminated
until the motorcycle reaches a speed
exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h).
Warning
The ABS computer operates by
comparing the relative speed of the
front and rear wheels.
Use of non-recommended tires can
affect wheel speed and cause the ABS
function not to operate, potentially
leading to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident in conditions where
the ABS would normally function.
Hill Hold Control (if equipped)
Hill hold control assists the rider in
making hill starts. The system (when
activated) will apply the rear brake to
hold the motorcycle in position. The
system will then automatically
deactivate and release the rear brake
when it detects that the rider is
attempting to move off.
Warning
Avoid activating the hill hold control
system on slippery surfaces.
The hill hold control system will not be
able to prevent the motorcycle from
slipping, if it is activated on a surface
where there is insufficient levels of tire
grip to hold the motorcycle in position.
Activating the hill hold control system
on a slippery surface could cause the
motorcycle to slip, leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
