WARNING INDICATIONS AND SAFETY SYSTEMS
10. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) will help prevent the brakes from locking the wheels,
during sudden application of the brakes at high speeds or at low friction surfaces. This will
help the rider to have better traction and control over the motorcycle and prevent the
motorcycle from skidding which can cause an accident.
In the event of a sudden and hard application of the brakes by the rider, the sensors in the braking
system will signal the ABS modulator to momentarily and continously reduce the hydraulic
pressure and thereby prevent the brakes from locking the wheels while reducing the speed of
the vehicle. This will help the rider to control the motorcycle.
An ABS indicator lamp is provided in the cluster (as shown in the adjacent image) to warn the rider in the event of any
malfunction of the ABS.
When the ignition and engine kill switch are switched in “ON” position the ABS sign will glow and remain "ON" till the
motorcycle attains a speed of 5 kmph / 3 Mph and turns “OFF”. This indicates the ABS is functioning properly. If the
ABS indicator lamp does not switch "OFF" and remains continuously "ON" at higher speeds, it is recommended not to
drive the ABS motorcycle. Get the brake system inspected and corrected through a nearest Authorised Royal Enfield
Service Centre. Failure to do so can result in a serious injuries and loss of life.
