Indicator light (ABS) (CBF500A)
This indicator light normally illuminates when
the ignition switch is set to ON and is
extinguished when the motorcycle is ridden at
a speed of more than 10 km/h (6mph). If there
is a problem with the ABS system, this light
flashes and remains on. When the indicator
light is illuminated the ABS system is not
operative.
If the ABS indicator light illuminates while
travelling, stop the motorcycle in a safe place
and switch off the engine.
Return the ignition switch to ON. The
indicator light should illuminate and then
switch off after the motorcycle has been
ridden at a speed of more than 10 km/h
(6mph). If the indicator light fails to switch off,
this means the ABS system is not working,
although the normal braking system will
continue to work and supply the normal
stopping power. In these conditions however
the system should be checked over by an
authorized Honda dealer as soon as possible.
The ABS indicator light may illuminate if the
rear wheel is driven at high speed for more
than 30 seconds when the motorcycle is
upright on the stand. This reaction is perfectly
normal. Set the ignition switch to OFF and
then return it to ON. The indicator light should
illuminate and then switch off after the
motorcycle has been ridden at a speed of
more than 30 km/h (19 mph).
