The document summarizes the functions of the rear brake lever and anti-lock brake system (ABS) on a Yamaha motorcycle. It describes that the rear brake lever is located on the left handlebar and engages the rear brake when pulled toward the grip. It also outlines that the ABS uses electronic control systems to independently act on the front and rear brakes, allowing the rider to brake normally while letting the ABS manage brake pulsations. The ABS performs a self-test each time the bike is started and reaches 10 km/h, and has a test mode for owners to experience ABS braking, though special tools are required.
