Brake system
This model is equipped with an inte-
grated anti-lock brake system (ABS)
and a variable unified brake system
(UBS).
Regarding ABS, operate the brakes 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 ap-
ply the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
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.
The ABS and UBS hydraulic control
unit is monitored by the ABS ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test when the vehicle is started
and reaches a speed of 10 km/h (6
mi/h). During this test, a “clicking”
noise may be audible from the hy-
draulic control unit, and a vibration
may be felt at the bake lever or
pedal, but this is normal.
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is oper-
ating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer.

Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.
Regarding variable UBS, operating the
brake lever will generate corresponding
brake pressure at the front brake and to
a variable degree, the rear brake. The
