WARNING
ABS
cannot

from all possible hazards and
is not a substitute for safe rid-
ing practices. Be aware of how
the ABS system operates and

It is the rider’s
responsibility to ride at appro-
priate speeds and manner for

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.
