How to Ride the Motorcycle

ABS Warning Light
When the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, it is normal
for the ABS warning light to flash on
and off (see page
58). If the ABS warning
light is constantly illuminated it
indicates that the ABS function is not
available because:
• The ABS has been disabled by the
rider.
• The ABS has a malfunction that
requires investigation.
If the indicator light becomes illuminated
while riding, it indicates that the ABS
has a malfunction that requires
investigation.
Note:
• 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 braking system.
Do not continue to ride for longer than
is necessary with the indicator light
illuminated.
In the event of a fault, contact an
authorized 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 control and an
accident.
Warning
The ABS warning light will illuminate
when the rear wheel is driven at high
speed for more than 30 seconds when
the motorcycle is on a stand. This
reaction is normal.
When the ignition is switched off and
the motorcycle is restarted, the
warning light will illuminate until the
motorcycle reaches a speed exceeding
19 mph (30 km/h).
Warning
The
ABS
system
operates
by
comparing the relative speed of the
front and rear wheels.
Use of non-recommended tires can
affect wheel speed and cause the ABS
function not to operate, potentially
leading to loss of control and an
accident in conditions where the ABS
would normally function.
