ABS WARNING LIGHT AND OPERATION
ABS warning light
• When the main switch is turned to “ON”, the ABS warning light comes on for 2 seconds, then goes
off.
• The ABS warning light comes on while the start switch is being pushed.
• If the ABS warning light comes on while riding, stop the vehicle, and then turn the main switch to
“OFF”, then back to “ON”. The ABS operation is normal if the ABS warning light comes on for 2
seconds, then goes off.
• If the rear wheel is raced with the vehicle on the sidestand, the ABS warning light may flash or
come on. If this occurs, turn the main switch to “OFF”, then back to “ON”. The ABS operation is
normal if the ABS warning light comes on for 2 seconds, then goes off.
• Even if the ABS warning light remains on and does not go off, or if it comes on after riding, conven-
tional braking performance of the vehicle is maintained.
ABS function
WARNING
EWA20S1003
• When hydraulic control is performed by the ABS, the brake system alerts the rider that the
wheels have a tendency to lock by generating a reaction-force pulsating action in the front
brake lever or rear brake pedal. When the ABS is activated, the grip between the road sur-
face and tires is close to the limit. The ABS cannot prevent wheel lock* on slippery sur-
faces, such as ice, when it is caused by engine braking, even if the ABS is activated.
• The ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance or improve the cornering perfor-
mance.
• Depending on the road conditions, the braking distance may be longer compared to that of
vehicles not equipped with ABS. Therefore, ride at a safe speed and keep a safe distance
between yourself and other vehicles.
• The braking of the vehicle, even in the worst case, is principally executed when the vehicle
is advancing straight ahead. During a turn, sudden braking is liable to cause a loss of trac-
tion of the tires. Even vehicles equipped with ABS cannot be prevented from falling over if
braked suddenly.
• The ABS does not work when the main switch is turned to “OFF”. The conventional braking
function can be used.
* Wheel lock: A condition that occurs when the rotation of one or both of the wheels has
stopped, but the vehicle continues to travel.
