ABS indicator
The instrument panel displays ABS current level.
The level can be customised using the Riding Mode
function present in the SETTING MENU.
When the ABS is in self-diagnosis stage, the ABS
light (10, Fig 40) flashes.
If ABS is in degraded operation mode, current level is
displayed flashing; also the ABS warning light
(10, Fig 40) flashes.
When in fault, the red "Err" message is displayed
instead of the level; also ABS light (10, Fig 40) turns
on( Fig 40)
Attention
In case of system malfunction, contact a Ducati
Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.
Using the brakes correctly under adverse conditions
is the hardest – and yet the most critical - skill to
master for a rider. Braking is one of the most difficult
and dangerous moments when riding a two wheeled
motorcycle: the possibility of falling or having an
accident during this difficult moment is statistically
higher than any other moment. A locked front wheel
leads to loss of traction and stability, resulting in loss
of control.
The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) has been
developed to enable riders to use the motorcycle
braking force to the fullest possible amount in
emergency braking or under poor pavement or
adverse weather conditions.
ABS is an electro-hydraulic device that controls the
pressure in the brake circuit when the control unit, by
processing information from wheel sensors,
determines that one or both wheels are about to lock
up. In this case, pressure decrease in the brake circuit
allows the wheel to carry on turning, thereby
preserving grip.
