General Operation
4.7
Disabling the ABS
WARNING! When the ABS is disabled, the motorcycle will
operate as a non-ABS equipped motorcycle, potentially with
increased stopping distance and unpredictable brake control.
To disable the ABS (starting with the motorcycle at rest on a level
and stable surface and the ignition key in OFF position):
1. Place kickstand in the down position.
2. Put the Motor Stop Switch in the OFF position.
3. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
4. Press and hold the ADJ button (on dash) and the MODE
button (on right handlebar) simultaneously. After 4 seconds,
the ABS light will begin to flash slowly (approximately every
1.2 seconds). Release both buttons.
Note: The ABS light will continue to flash (approximately
every 1.2 seconds) until the key is cycled off and back to the
ON position.
To reactivate the ABS (starting with the motorcycle at rest on a
level and stable surface and the ignition key in OFF position):
1. Disconnect external charge cables.
2. Wait for the dash display to turn off completely.
3. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
4. Resume normal operation.
ABS Warning Indicator
When the motorcycle is stationary and the key turned to the ON
position, it is normal for the ABS warning indicator on the dash
to illuminate. The indicator will remain on until the system
detects the motorcycle’s speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h), after
which it will stay off until the key is cycled off and back to the
ON position.
Note: Both the front and rear wheel speed sensors must detect
speeds exceeding 3 mph (5 km/h) simultaneously in order for
the ABS system and its indicator to operate properly.
If the ABS warning indicator is illuminated outside of its normal
operating parameters:
•
The ABS has been disabled by the rider.
•
The ABS has a malfunction and requires attention and/or
service.
WARNING! If the ABS indicator light remains illuminated after
your motorcycle exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h), ABS is not active and
there is a fault with the ABS system. If an ABS system fault
exists, take your motorcycle to an authorized dealer at your
earliest convenience to have the ABS system repaired. If there
are no dealers in you area, call Zero Motorcycles Customer
Service. See
“Customer Assistance”, on page 9.10 .
