12 BRAKE SYSTEM

12.1 Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
H01077-10
The ABS module
1
, consisting of a hydraulic unit, an ABS control unit,
and a return pump, is located under the seat. One wheel speed sen-
sor
2
is located in each case on the front and the rear wheel.
Warning
Danger of accidents Changes to the vehicle impair the func-
tion of the ABS.
–
Do not make any changes to the suspension travel.
–
Only use spare parts on the brake system which have been
approved and recommended by GASGAS Motorcycles.
–
Only use tires/wheels approved by GASGAS Motorcycles
with the corresponding speed index.
–
Maintain the specified tire pressure.
–
Ensure that service work and repairs are performed profes-
sionally. (Your authorized GASGAS Motorcycles workshop
will be glad to help.)
ABS is a safety system that prevents locking of the wheels when driving
straight ahead without the influence of lateral forces.
Warning
Danger of accidents Driving aids can reduce the probability of
a fall only within physical limits.
It is not always possible to compensate for extreme riding sit-
uations, for example with luggage loaded with a high center
of gravity, varying road surfaces, steep descents or full braking
without disengaging the gear.
–
Adapt your riding style to the road conditions and your driv-
ing ability.
Warning
Danger of accidents An incorrectly selected ABS mode makes
control of the vehicle considerably more difficult.
The ABS modes are each only suitable for certain conditions.
–
Always select an ABS mode that is compatible with the sur-
face of the ground.
The ABS operates with two independent brake circuits (front and rear
brakes). When the ABS control unit detects a locking tendency in a
wheel, ABS begins regulating the brake pressure. The control function
causes a slight pulsing of the hand and foot brake levers.
The ABS warning lamp
3
must light up after the ignition is switched on
and go out after starting off. If it does not go out after starting off or if
it lights up while riding, this indicates a fault in the ABS. In this case, the
ABS is no longer enabled and the wheels may lock during braking. The
brake system itself stays functional; only ABS control is not available.
The ABS warning lamp may also light up if the rotating speeds of the
front and rear wheels differ greatly under extreme riding conditions, for
example when making "wheelies" or if the rear wheel spins. This causes
the ABS to switch off.
To reactivate the ABS, stop the vehicle and switch off the ignition. The
ABS is reactivated when the vehicle is switched on again. The ABS warn-
ing lamp goes out when you start off.
