KIBS regulates anti-lock braking performance with more precision during sports riding compared to a conventional ABS system.
KIBS is designed to help prevent the wheels from locking up when the brakes are applied hard while riding straight. KIBS automatically regulates brake force using engine data in addition to front and rear wheel speed to help prevent wheel lock-up and allows more stable steering control while stopping.
KIBS helps provide stability while stopping by preventing wheel lock-up, but you should be aware of the following:
You must use the same discretion as you would with motorcycles not equipped with KIBS.
When turning a corner, it is better to limit braking to a light application of both brakes or not to brake at all. Reduce your speed before you get into the corner.
WARNING KIBS cannot protect the rider from all possible hazards and is not a substitute for safe riding practices. Be aware of how the KIBS system operates and its limitations. It is the rider’s responsibility to ride at appropriate speeds and manner for weather, road surface and traffic conditions. |
WARNING Use of non-recommended tires can cause the KIBS to malfunction and lead to extended braking distance, resulting in a crash causing serious injury or death. Always use the recommended standard tires for this motorcycle. |

Measure the outside diameter [A] of each piston 5 mm
(0.20 in.) [B] up from the bottom of the piston at a right
angle to the direction of the piston pin.
If the measurement is under service limit, replace the piston.
