HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
119
WARNING
K-ACT ABS cannot protect the
rider from all possible hazards
and is not a substitute for safe
riding practices.
Be aware of
how the K-ACT ABS system op-
erates and its limitations.
It is
the rider’s responsibility to ride
at appropriate speeds and man-
ner for weather, road surface and
traffic conditions.
•
The
computers
integrated
in
the
K-ACT
ABS
compares
vehicle
speed with wheel speed.
Since
non-recommended tires can affect
wheel speed, they may confuse the
computers, which can extend brak-
ing distance.
WARNING
Use of non-recommended tires
may
cause
malfunctioning
of
K-ACT ABS and can lead to ex-
tended braking distance.
The
rider could have an accident as
a result.
Always use recom-
mended standard tires for this
motorcycle.
NOTE
○
When K-ACT system is functioning,
you may feel a pulsing in the brake
lever or pedal and feel a change of
the braking touch. When the ABS is
functioning, you may feel a pulsing in
the brake lever or pedal. These are
normal. Maintain braking pressure.
○
