System ABS (01_41, 01_42)
The vehicle is equipped with a locking ABS system on the front wheel.
A: Tone wheel
B: Speed sensor
•
ABS: It is a hydraulic - electronic device that limits the pressure within the
braking circuit when a sensor, located on the wheel, detects its tendency to
lock. This system prevents the front wheel from locking to avoid the risk of
falling.
In case of failure of the ABS system, immediately reported to the rider with ABS warn-
ing light on the instrument panel, the vehicle retains the characteristics of a conven-
tional braking system. In case of ABS warning light, reduce speed and go to an
Authorised Service Centre for the appropriate checks. The safety provided by the ABS
does not, in any case, justify risky manoeuvres. The stopping distance may be greater,
compared to a conventional vehicle equipped with traditional braking in the following
conditions:
•
Riding on rough roads, with gravel or snow
•
Riding on roads with holes or bumps
It is therefore recommended to reduce speed in these conditions.
N.B.
THE ABS SYSTEM SENSOR, WHICH IS CAPABLE OF CARRYING OUT PRECI-
SION READINGS ON THE PHONIC WHEEL, MAY GENERATE SPEED INDICA-
TIONS OF A FEW KM/H (MPH) WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, EVEN IF THE
VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.
SUCH BEHAVIOUR IS TO BE CONSIDERED NORMAL AND DOES NOT CREATE
MALFUNCTIONS IN THE SYSTEM.
AT VERY LOW SPEEDS (LESS THAN 5 KM/H) THE ABS SYSTEM IS DISABLED.
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PAY ATTENTION THEREFORE IN CASES OF BRAK-
ING IN LOW GRIP CONDITIONS AT LOW SPEED (FOR EXAMPLE BRAKING ON
