ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
Warning
ABS prevents the wheels from locking,
therefore maximising the effectiveness
of the braking system in emergencies
and when riding on slippery surfaces.
The potentially
distances ABS allows under certain
conditions are not a substitute for
good riding practice.
Always ride within the legal speed limit.
Never ride without due care and
attention and always reduce speed in
consideration of weather, road and
traffic conditions.
Take care when cornering. If the brakes
are applied in a corner, ABS will not be
able to counteract the weight and
momentum of the motorcycle. This can
result in loss of control and an
accident.
Under some circumstances it is possible
that a motorcycle equipped with ABS
may require a longer stopping distance.

ABS Warning Light
When the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, it is normal
for the ABS warning light to flash on
and off, see page 23 for Street Triple R,
Street Triple R - LRH (Low Ride Height)
and Street Triple RS models or page 60 for
Street Triple S and Street Triple S 660cc
models. If the ABS warning light is
constantly illuminated it indicates that
the ABS function is not available because:
• The ABS has been disabled by the
rider, see page 33 Street Triple R,
Street Triple R - LRH (Low Ride
Height) and Street Triple RS models.
• The ABS has a malfunction that
requires investigation.
If the indicator light becomes illuminated
while riding, it indicates that the ABS has
a malfunction that requires investigation.
Note:
• Normally, the rider will perceive
ABS operation as a harder feel or a
pulsation of the brake lever and
pedal. As the ABS is not an
integrated braking system and it
does not control both the front and
rear brake at the same time, this
pulsation may be felt in the lever,
the pedal or both.
• The ABS may be activated by
sudden upward
changes in the road surface.
