General Information

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
Indicator 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.
Unless the ABS system is disabled, or
there is a fault, it should not illuminate
again until the engine is restarted.
If the indicator light becomes illuminated
at any other time while riding it indicates
that the ABS has a malfunction that
requires investigation.
See also Braking on page 71 .
Traction Control (TC) Indicator Light
The TC indicator light is used
to indicate that the traction
control system is active and is
working to limit rear wheel slip
during periods of hard acceleration or
under wet or slippery road conditions.
TC Indicator Light Operation:
TC Switched On:
• Under normal riding conditions the
indicator light will remain off.
• The indicator light will flash rapidly
when the traction control system is
working to limit rear wheel slip
during periods of hard acceleration
or under wet or slippery road
conditions.
TC Switched Off:
The indicator light will not illuminate.
Instead the TC disabled warning light will
be illuminated (see page
26 ).
Note:
• Traction control will not function if
there is a malfunction with the ABS
system. The warning lights for the
ABS, traction control and the MIL will
be illuminated.
Warning
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a
non-ABS braking system.
Do not continue to ride for longer
than is necessary with the indicator
light illuminated.
Contact an authorized 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 control and
an accident.
