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 .
