ABS

The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
1
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 lever or brake pedal.
In this situation, continue to apply the
brakes and let the ABS work; do not
"pump" the brakes as this will reduce
braking effectiveness.
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.

WARNING
●
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.
● On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer with
the ABS than without.
