Correct answer

ABS regulates braking pressure to prevent wheel lock and helps maintain stability. It does not impose identical pressure in both brakes or guarantee that grip cannot be lost or the motorcycle cannot fall. Adapt speed and following distance to conditions. Installing or modifying the system must respect the vehicle’s approved configuration; it is not an unrestricted retrofit.
