WARNING
ABS cannot protect the rider
from all possible hazards and
is not a substitute for safe rid-
ing practices. Be aware of how
the ABS system operates and
its limitations. It is the rider’s
responsibility to ride at appro-
priate speeds and manner for
weather, road surface and traffic
conditions.
•
The computers integrated in the ABS
compare vehicle speed with wheel
speed.
Since non-recommended
tires can affect wheel speed, they
may confuse the computers, which
can extend braking distance.
WARNING
Use of non-recommended tires
may cause malfunctioning of
ABS and can lead to extended
braking distance.
The rider
could have an accident as a re-
sult. Always use recommended
standard tires for this motorcy-
cle.
