WARNING INDICATIONS & SAFETY SYSTEMS
3. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
Anti-Lock Braking System
(ABS) will help prevent the
brakes from locking the
wheels, during sudden
application of the brakes
at high speeds. This will
help the rider to have
better traction and control
over the motorcycle and
prevent the motorcycle
from skidding which can
cause a accident.
In the event of sudden and hard application of the
brakes by the rider, the sensors in the braking system
will signal the ABS moderator to momentarily and
continously reduce the hydraulic pressure and
thereby prevent the brakes from locking the wheels
while reducing the speed of the vehicle. This will help
the rider to control the motorcycle.
An ABS indicator lamp is provided in the console (as
shown in adjacent image) to warn the rider in the
event of any malfunction of the ABS.
When the ignition and kill switch are switched 'ON', the
ABS sign light up and remain 'ON' till the motorcycle
attains a speed of 5 Kmph (3MPH) and switch 'OFF'.
This indicates the ABS is working properly. In the event
the lamp does not switch 'OFF' and remains continously
'ON' at higher speeds, it is recommended not to drive
the motorcycle and get the brake system inspected
and corrected through a nearest authorized Royal
Enfield Distributor. Failure to do so can result in a
serious injuries and loss of life.
