, which consists of a hydraulic unit, ABS
control unit, and return pump, is installed under the fuel tank.
One wheel speed sensor

is located in each case on the front
and the rear wheel.
Warning
Danger of accidents
Changes to the vehicle impair the
function 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 Husqvarna
Motorcycles.
–
Only use tires/wheels approved by Husqvarna Motor-
cycles with the corresponding speed index.
–
Maintain the specified tire pressure.
–
Ensure that service work and repairs are performed
professionally. (Your authorized Husqvarna Motorcy-
cles workshop will be glad to help.)
The ABS is a safety system that prevents locking of the wheels
when driving straight ahead or when cornering (within the limits
of physics).
Warning
Danger of accidents
Driving aids can reduce the prob-
ability of a fall only within physical limits.
It is not always possible to compensate for extreme rid-
ing situations, 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 driving 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 condi-
tions.
–
Always select an ABS mode that is compatible with
the surface of the ground.
ABS has two operating modes: the
Road
and
Offroad
ABS
modes.
In
Road
ABS mode, the ABS controls both wheels.
In ABS mode
Offroad
there is no ABS control on the rear wheel.
