Abs - Yamaha Tricity MW125A Owner's Manual

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
TIP
 As the unified brake system is me-
chanical, additional free play can
be felt in the front brake lever
when the rear brake lever is being
3
pulled.
 The unified brake system does not
function when the front brake is
applied alone.

ABS

Your leaning multi-wheel vehicle's ABS
(Anti-lock Brake System) features an
electronic control system, which acts
on each of the front and rear brakes in-
dependently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not "pump" the
brakes as this will reduce braking ef-
fectiveness.
WARNING
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
 The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.
 On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer with
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.

TIP
 The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
"ON" and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a "click-
ing" noise can be heard from the
front of the vehicle, and if either
brake lever is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever, but these do not indicate a
malfunction.
 This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
EWA16051
the pulsation at the brake levers
when the ABS is operating. How-
ever, special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er.
NOTICE
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.
