Abs (For Abs Models) - Yamaha QBIX LTV125 Owner's Manual

ABS (for ABS models)

This model's ABS (anti-lock brake sys-
tem) acts on the front brake system.
Operate the brakes as you normally
would with a conventional brake sys-
tem. If the ABS is activated, a pulsating
sensation may be felt at the front brake
lever. In this situation, continue to ap-
ply the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not release and re-apply the brakes
(i.e., pump the brakes) as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
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.
EAU77821
TIP
 The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the main switch is
turned on and the vehicle has trav-
eled at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h)
or higher. During this test, a click-
ing noise may be audible, and a vi-
bration may be felt at the brake
lever, but these do not indicate a
malfunction.
 The ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
EWA16051
the pulsating sensation at the front
brake lever. However, special
tools are required so please con-
sult your Yamaha dealer.
NOTICE
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.
