ABS Option Descriptions
Warning
The OFF-ROAD ABS option is NOT
intended for use with normal, on-road
riding.
Use of the rear brake pedal in this
situation can cause the rear wheel to
lock under heavy braking.
Riding on-road with the ABS set to
OFF-ROAD can lead to instability when
braking which may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
If the ABS is disabled, the brake system
will function as a non-ABS braking
system. In this situation braking too
hard will cause the wheels to lock, and
may result in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Road - Optimal ABS setting for road
use.
Off-Road - Optimal ABS setting for
off-road use as follows:
Front Brake Lever Operation - If the
front brake lever is operated only,
the partially integrated braking
system will also apply a small
amount of rear brake as described
in Braking on
page 151
. In this
situation, the level of ABS
intervention is optimised for off-
road riding for both front and rear
wheels.
Rear Brake Pedal Operation - If the
rear brake pedal is operated at any
point, all rear braking input will be
controlled directly by the rear
brake pedal. Operating the rear
brake pedal will override any rear
braking input applied by the
partially integrated braking system,
through use of the front brake
lever. In this situation, the level of
ABS intervention is optimised for
off-road riding for the front wheel,
but the rear wheel will be allowed
to lock under heavy braking. Use of
the rear brake pedal alone will only
apply the rear brake and the rear
wheel will be allowed to lock under
heavy braking. The ABS warning
light will flash slowly.
