HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
99
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
Warning
The
ABS
function
attempts
to
maximise the chances of keeping the
motorcycle
under
control
when
braking.
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.
For information on the ABS function and
operation, see page
ABS Warning Light
When the ignition switch is
turned on, it is normal for the ABS
warning light to flash on and off (see
page
30). If the ABS warning light is
constantly illuminated it indicates that
the ABS function is not available
because:
▼
the ABS has been disabled by the
rider;
▼
the ABS has a malfunction that
requires investigation.
If the warning 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 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.
Do not continue to ride for longer than
is necessary with the warning light
illuminated.
Contact an authorised Triumph dealer
as soon as possible to have the fault
checked and rectified. In this situation
braking too hard will cause the wheels
to lock resulting in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
