HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
124
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
Warning
The ABS function attempts to
maximize 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.
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, see page
41 for Street Triple R,
Street Triple R - LRH and
Street Triple RS models or page 41 for
Street Triple S (40.2 cu in (660 cc))
models. 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, see page
51 Street Triple R,
Street Triple R - LRH and
Street Triple RS models.
▼
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.
