How to Ride the Motorcycle

ABS Warning Light
When the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, it is
normal that the ABS warning
light will flash on and off. The
light will continue to flash after engine
start-up until the motorcycle first
reaches a speed exceeding 6 mph
(10 km/h) when it will go off.
The warning light will not illuminate
again until the engine is restarted
unless there is a fault.
If there is a fault with the ABS system
the warning light will be illuminated and
the general warning symbol will flash.
Warning
The ABS warning light will illuminate
when the rear wheel is driven at high
speed for more than 30 seconds when
the motorcycle is on a stand. This
reaction is normal.
When the ignition is switched off
and the motorcycle is restarted, the
warning light will illuminate until the
motorcycle reaches a speed exceeding
19 mph (30 km/h).
Warning
The ABS system operates by
comparing the relative speed of the
front and rear wheels.
Use of non-recommended tires can
affect wheel speed and cause the ABS
function not to operate, potentially
leading to loss of control and an
accident in conditions where the ABS
would normally function.
Optimized Cornering ABS
Note
Only on Scrambler 1200 Steve McQueen
Edition and Scrambler 1200 XE models.
The optimized cornering ABS is a
system designed to give the rider
increased control should the ABS be
activated while the motorcycle is leaning
in a corner.
A sensor constantly monitors the
lean angle of the motorcycle. If the
motorcycle is leaning in a corner and
the ABS is activated, the system will use
the lean angle measurement to apply
the ABS in a manner most suitable
to help the rider maintain motorcycle
control.
Warning
The optimized cornering ABS is a
system designed to help the rider in
emergency braking situations.
The system is designed to give the
rider increased control should the ABS
be activated while the motorcycle is
leaning in a corner.
The potential increased control that
the optimized cornering braking
system allows under certain conditions
is not a substitute for good riding
practice.
