When the brake pedal is pressed
down, the rear brake and a portion of
the front brake are applied. For full
braking performance, operate the front
brake lever and brake pedal simultane-
ously.TIP Because the unified brake system
is mechanical, additional free play
can be felt in the front and rear

When pulling the rear brake lever, the
rear brake and a portion of the front
brake are applied. For full braking per-
formance, apply both brake levers si-
multaneously.TIP Because the unified brake system

Parkin g b rake leverTo apply the parkin g b rake
Pull the parking brake lever upward
firmly.
To release the parkin g b rake
Pull slightly upward on the parking
brake lever, and then put it back in the
original position.TIPBe sure to check that the rear wheel
does not move when the parking brake
lever is applied.
WARNING
EWA21030
Never move the parkin g b rake lever
upwar d while the vehicle is movin g,
otherwise loss of control or an acci-
d ent may result. Make sure that the
vehicle is stopped before movin g
the parkin g b rake lever upwar d.
EAU84570
ABSThe anti-lock brake system (ABS) acts
on the front and rear brakes indepen-
dently.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient d istance
from the vehicle ahea d to match the
ri din g speed even with ABS.
 The ABS performs b est with
lon g b rakin g d istances.
 On certain surfaces, such as
rou gh or g ravel roa ds, the b rak-
in g d istance may be lon ger with
the ABS than without.How to operate the brakes
Operate the brake lever and brake
pedal the same as you would conven-
tional brakes. If wheel slip is detected
while braking, ABS will activate and a
pulsating sensation may be felt at the
brake lever or brake pedal. Continue to
apply the brakes and let the ABS work.
Do not pump the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.

The ABS performs a self-check
when you first start off. During this
time a clicking noise from the hy-
draulic unit may be audible, and if
the brake lever or brake pedal is
applied a vibration can be felt, but
this is not a malfunction.
 The brake system will revert to a
conventional brake system in case
of ABS malfunction.
NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damag e the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.
EAU89320
Traction control systemThe traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when acceler-
ating on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip
(uncontrolled spinning), the traction
control system assists by regulating
engine power until traction is restored.
When traction control has engaged,
the “ ” indicator light will flash. You
may notice changes in engine re-
sponse or exhaust sound.
WARNING
EWA18860
The traction control system is not a
su bstitute for rid ing appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while brakin g,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution an d avoi d especially slip-
pery surfaces.
