BRAKES 12-31
Anti-Lock Brake System

                        WARNING
 Air in the brake lines diminish braking performance
 and can cause an accident resulting in injury or
 death. If any of the brake line fittings, including the
 ABS hydraulic unit joint nuts, or the bleed valve is
 opened at any time, the air must be bled completely
 from the brake line. If the brake lever has a soft
 or "spongy" feeling mushy when it is applied, there
 might be air in the brake lines or the brake may be
 defective. Do not operate the vehicle and service
 the brake system immediately.

                        NOTICE
 Do not ride the motorcycle with air in the brake line,
 or the ABS could malfunction.

○The Yellow ABS indicator light (LED) [A] may light if the
 tire pressure is incorrect, a non-recommended tire is in-
 stalled, or the wheel is deformed. If the indicator light
 lights, remedy the problem and clear the service code.
                        WARNING
 Use of non-recommended tires may cause malfunc-
 tioning of ABS and can lead to extended braking
 distance resulting in an accident causing serious
 injury or death. Always use recommended stan-
 dard tires for this motorcycle.
