MOTO GUZZI V7 III Special Manual page 49

B: Speed sensor
In case of failure of the ABS system, immediately reported to the rider with ABS warn-
ing light on the instrument panel, the vehicle retains the characteristics of a conven-
tional braking system. In case of ABS warning light, reduce speed and go to an
Authorized Service Centre for the appropriate checks. The safety provided by the ABS
does not, in any case, justify risky manoeuvres. The stopping distance may be greater,
compared to a conventional vehicle equipped with traditional braking in the following
conditions:
•
Riding on rough roads, with gravel or snow
•
Riding on roads with holes or bumps
02_48
It is therefore recommended to reduce speed in these conditions.
NOTE
A PULSING SENSATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER
WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED.
THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM OF THE WHEEL DOES NOT PREVENT
FALLS WHILE CORNERING.
AN EMERGENCY BRAKING WITH THE VEHICLE INCLINED, HANDLEBAR
02_49
TURNED, ON UNEVEN OR SLIPPERY ROADS, OR WITH POOR GRIP, CREATES
A LACK OF STABILITY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. RIDE CAREFULLY AND SEN-
SIBLY AND ALWAYS BRAKE GRADUALLY.
DO NOT SPEED RECKLESSLY. THE VEHICLE GRIP ON THE ROAD IS SUBJECT
TO LAWS OF PHYSICS WHICH NOT EVEN THE ABS SYSTEM CAN ELIMINATE.
CAUTION
AT VERY LOW SPEEDS (LESS THAN 5 km/h (3.11 miles)) THE ABS SYSTEM IS
DISABLED.
