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.
