How to Ride the Motorcycle
106
Warning
The ABS system 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 control and an
accident in conditions where the ABS
would normally function.
Hill Hold Control
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.
