- Begin braking using the foot brake as far as possible. 
 
- Pull  the brake lever quickly, but not abruptly. Once the brake pads have  fully engaged, increase the braking pressure quickly, and in significant  amounts. 
 
- When performing a full braking maneuver, brake on  straight course within the ABS control range. Depending on the model,  you can tell that the ABS has kicked in through a gentle pulsing on the  hand and foot brake levers, as well as a tacking noise. 
 
- When performing a full braking maneuver, always disengage the clutch at the same time. 
 
- When braking in bends, increase the braking pressure gently to prevent the front wheel from slipping to the side. 
 
- Always  pay attention to the rear of the motorcycle when performing a full  braking maneuver. If the rear wheel lifts up, you should reduce the  braking pressure on the front wheel as quickly as possible. 
 
- Modern  ABS systems can support the driver in this regard. The generation 9  motorcycle ABS systems from Bosch all feature intelligent rear-wheel  lift-up control and have been developed to facilitate braking at full  power in all emergency braking situations when traveling in a straight  line. 
 Please note that the behavior of ABS systems can vary in certain  circumstances depending on the ABS manufacturer and the type of  motorcycle. This is due to differences in the ABS system itself, but  also the way the motorcycle is designed by the manufacturer and the  different ABS modes.
  The best preparation for an emergency: preparation. Practice braking  in the ABS control range regularly. This will allow you to use the  antilock braking system to its full potential in the event of a serious  incident. The best way to practice this is as part of driving safety  training.
