How to Ride the Motorcycle

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
Warning
ABS prevents the wheels from locking,
therefore
maximising the
effectiveness of the braking system in
emergencies and when riding on
slippery surfaces. The potentially
shorter braking distances ABS allows
under certain conditions are not a
substitute for good riding practice.
Always ride within the legal speed
limit.
Never ride without due care and
attention and always reduce speed in
consideration of weather, road and
traffic conditions.
Take care when cornering. If the
brakes are applied in a corner, ABS will
not be able to counteract the weight
and momentum of the motorcycle.
This can result in loss of control and
an accident.
Under some circumstances it is
possible that a motorcycle equipped
with ABS may require a longer
stopping distance.
ABS Warning Light
When the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, it is normal
for the ABS warning light to flash on
and off.
If the ABS warning light is constantly
illuminated it indicates that the ABS
function is not available because the
ABS has a malfunction that requires
investigation.
If the indicator light becomes illuminated
while riding, it indicates that the ABS
has
a malfunction that requires
investigation.
Note
The ABS operation may feel like a harder
pedal pressure or a pulsation of the
brake lever and pedal.
The ABS is not an integrated braking
system and does not control both the
front and rear brake at the same time
so this pulsation may be felt in the lever,
the pedal or both.
The ABS may be activated by sudden
upward or downward changes in the
road surface.
Warning
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a
non-ABS equipped brake system.
In this situation, braking too hard will
cause the wheels to lock resulting in
loss of control and an accident.
Reduce speed and do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with
the indicator light illuminated. Contact
an authorised Triumph dealer as soon
as possible to have the fault checked
and rectified.
