HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
112
Warning
ABS 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
not to operate, potentially leading
to loss of control and an accident
in conditions where the ABS would
normally function.
Optimized Cornering ABS
The optimized cornering ABS provides
increased control should the ABS be
activated while the motorcycle is leaning
in a corner.
A sensor constantly monitors the
lean angle of the motorcycle. If the
motorcycle is leaning in a corner and
the ABS is activated, the system will use
the lean angle measurement to apply
the ABS in a manner most suitable
to assist the rider in maintaining
motorcycle control.
For more information on function
availability, see page 45.
Warning
The optimized cornering ABS is a
system designed to help the rider in
emergency braking situations.
The system is designed to give the
rider increased control should the ABS
be activated while the motorcycle is
leaning in a corner.
The potential increased control that
the optimized cornering braking
system allows under certain conditions
is not a substitute for good riding
practice.
