– at speeds below 6 km/h / 3.73 mph (12 km/h /
7.46 mph – if brake lever/
pedal was operated before-
hand)
– when the ignition is switched off
– if the battery is defective or
flat (indicated by ABS warning
light)

system (

 The brakes remain fully operational, though without
the reserves of safety
afforded by ABS.
OEOptional extra
d Warning:
If there is a fault in the ABS sys-
tem – as indicated by warning
light 1 – the reserves of safety
normally afforded by ABS are
not available until the defect has
been put right.
There is a risk of dropping the
motorcycle if the brakes are ap-
plied too hard and the wheels
lock or the rear wheel lifts clear
of the ground as a result of a
high level of front tyre adhesion.
The ABS system shuts down au-
tomatically if you ride for approx.
10 seconds with only one wheel
in contact with the ground.
