APRILIA DORSODURO 1200 2010, Manual

Page: 47 / 136

NOTE
THE ABS SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND DEVELOPED, CONSISTENTLY
WITH THE REST OF THE VEHICLE, TO BE USED ON TARMAC ROADS AND IT
IS NOT SUITABLE FOR OFF-ROAD USE.
IF THE VEHICLE IS USED ON UNSURFACED AND/OR SPECIFICALLY ROUGH
ROADS, THE ABS SYSTEM MAY GET DISABLED AUTOMATICALLY; IN ANY
CASE, THE BRAKING SYSTEM WORKS PERFECTLY WELL AS A TRADITIONAL
NON-ABS BRAKING SYSTEM AND PROVIDES A STANDARD STOP CAPACITY.
IN ORDER TO REACTIVATE THE SYSTEM JUST SHUT OFF AND START THE
VEHICLE UP AGAIN AND RIDE OVER 5 km/h (3.1 mph).
THE ABS SYSTEM ACTS ON BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS BY OB-
TAINING INFORMATION FROM THE ROTATION/ LOCKING TONE WHEELS.
ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE TONE WHEEL IS CLEAN, AND REGULARLY
CHECK THAT THE DISTANCE TO THE SENSOR IS CONSTANT ON ALL 360
GRADES. SHOULD THE WHEELS BE REMOVED AND REFITTED, IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO CHECK THAT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TONE WHEEL AND
SENSOR IS THE ONE SPECIFIED. FOR CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT, CON-
TACT AN Authorised APRILIA Workshop.
IN THE CASE OF A MOTORCYCLE WITH THE ABS SYSTEM, BRAKE PADS WITH
FRICTION MATERIALS THAT ARE NOT TYPE APPROVED WILL JEOPARDISE
BRAKING, DRASTICALLY REDUCING RIDING SAFETY.
NOTE
THE SYSTEM SENSORS WITH A SIGNIFICANT ACCURACY IN READING THE
TONE WHEELS CAN GENERATE, WITH THE MOTORCYCLE AT A STANDSTILL
