Abs (Anti-Lock Brake System) - Triumph Tiger XR Owner's Handbook Manual

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)

Warning
ABS helps prevent the wheels from
locking, therefore maximising
effectiveness of the braking system in
emergencies and when riding on
slippery surfaces. The
shorter braking distances ABS allows
under certain conditions are not a
substitute for good riding practice.
Always ride within the legal speed
limit.
Never ride without due care and
attention and always reduce speed in
consideration of weather, road and
traffic conditions.
Take care when cornering. If the
brakes are applied in a corner, ABS will
not be able to counteract the weight
and momentum of the motorcycle.
This can result in loss of control and
an accident.
Under some circumstances
possible that a motorcycle equipped
with ABS may require a longer
stopping distance than an equivalent
motorcycle without ABS.
