available.
The ABS warning 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.

The ABS is reactivated when the vehicle is switched on again. The
ABS warning lamp goes out after starting off.
