Abs - Yamaha XP530E-A Owner's Manual

Instrument and control functions

ABS

The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
1
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
2
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
3
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not "pump" the
brakes as this will reduce braking effec-
4
tiveness.
WARNING
5
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
6
The ABS performs best with

long braking distances.
7
On certain surfaces, such as

rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer with
8
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
9
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
10

The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle is
11 turned on and travels at a speed of
10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher. During
this test, a clicking noise can be
12
heard and if either brake lever is
even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever, but this
13
does not indicate a malfunction.

This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
14
pulsation at the brake levers when
EAU65580 the ABS is operating. However,
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.
