How to Ride the Motorcycle

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
Warning
ABS prevents the wheels from locking,
therefore maximising the effectiveness
of the braking system in emergencies
and when riding on slippery surfaces.
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
The ABS warning light
illuminates to show that the
ABS function is not available.
Illumination is normal after
engine start-up, and until the
motorcycle first reaches a speed
exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h). Unless there
is a fault, it should not illuminate again
until the engine is restarted.
If the ABS warning light becomes
illuminated at any other time while
riding, it indicates that the ABS has a
malfunction that requires investigation.
• Normally, the rider will perceive
ABS operation as a harder feel
or a pulsation of the brake lever
and pedal. As the ABS is not an
integrated braking system and it
does not control both the front and
rear brake at the same time, 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.
Warning
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a
non-ABS equipped brake system.
Do not continue to ride for longer than
is necessary with the warning light
illuminated.
Contact an authorised Triumph dealer
as soon as possible to have the fault
checked and rectified. In this situation
braking too hard will cause the wheels
to lock resulting in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
