Kawasaki Advanced
Coactive-braking Technology
(K-ACT) - Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) for models
equipped with K-ACT ABS
K-ACT system supports the distri-
bution of the front/rear brake force in
an optimum balance to maintain a sta-
ble vehicle position.
When using the
front brake lever, the right and left front
calipers and the rear brake operate.
When using the rear brake pedal, the
rear brake and the right front caliper
operate.
The cooperative brake bal-
ance is controlled optimally in response
to the vehicle status such as the brake
input and the vehicle speed.
ABS is designed to help prevent
the wheels from locking up when the
brakes are applied hard while running
straight. The ABS automatically regu-
lates brake force. Intermittently gaining
gripping force and braking force helps
