12 BRAKE SYSTEM
64
The ABS warning lamp
3
must light up after the ignition is switched
on and go out after starting off. If it does not go out after starting off
or if it lights up while riding, this indicates a malfunction in the ABS. In
this case, the ABS is no longer enabled and the wheels may lock during
braking. The brake system itself stays functional; only ABS control is not
available.
The ABS warning lamp may also light up if the rotating speeds of the
front and rear wheels differ greatly under extreme riding conditions, for
example when making "wheelies" or if the rear wheel spins. This causes
the ABS to switch off.
To reactivate the ABS, the vehicle must be stopped and the ignition
switched off. The ABS is reactivated when the vehicle is switched on
again. The ABS warning lamp goes out when you start off.
Info
The motorcycle has an additional 5-D sensor. The 5-D sensor
makes the ABS control dependent on the angle of inclination and
pitch. This can prevent locking and slipping of the wheels during
braking when the vehicle is inclined (when cornering) within the
physical limitations.
