lamp flashes slowly to remind you that the SMOTO ABS mode
is enabled.
Info
In the SMOTO ABS mode, the rear wheel may lock and
there is a risk of falling.
The ABS operates with two independent brake circuits (front and
rear brakes). When the brake electronics control unit detects a
locking tendency in a wheel, ABS begins regulating the brake
pressure. The regulating process causes a slight pulsing of the
hand and foot brake levers.

The ABS indicator lamp must light up after the ignition is
switched on and go out after starting off. If it does not go out after
starting off or if it is lit while riding, this indicates a fault in the
ABS system. In this case, the ABS is no longer enabled and the
wheels may lock during braking. The brake system itself stays
functional; only ABS control is not available.
The ABS indicator lamp may also light up if the rotating speeds of
the front and rear wheels differ greatly under extreme riding con-
ditions, for example when making "wheelies" or if the rear wheel
spins. This causes the ABS to switch off.
To reactivate the ABS, stop the vehicle and switch off the ignition.
The ABS is reactivated when the vehicle is switched on again. The
ABS indicator lamp goes out when you start off.
