Braking system
When sensors (3) detect a significant speed difference between the rear and the front wheels (for
example, when rearing up on the back wheel), the ABS system could take this as a dangerous situation.
In this case, 2 things may occur:
- the ABS system intervenes by releasing pressure from the calliper until the wheel turns again at the
same speed of the other wheel; it is not possible to brake for an instant.
- if the speed difference lasts long, the system may detect an error and deactivates the ABS system.
As a consequence, the system works as any regular braking system.
Riding with an active ABS system
During the vehicle start-up, after the in-
strument panel initial check, the ABS
warning light stops flashing when the
speed is under 5 km/h (3.1 mph).
If the ABS warning light remains on when the
vehicle is running, it means that a fault has
been detected and the ABS system has been
automatically deactivated.
IN CASE OF FAILURE OR WITH ABS DISCONNECTED,
THE VEHICLE OPERATES AS IF IT DID NOT HAVE THIS
SYSTEM.
ABS enable/disable
By short pressing the button "B" move the various
functions until the one regarding the ABS appears.
To activate or deactivate the system, briefly press
button "A", which will either activate or deactivate
the system in cycles.
If the system is activated, the ABS warning light
will blink.
If the system is deactivated, the ABS warning light
will stay permanently on.
In both cases, to confirm the selected mode, hold
button "B" pressed for a few seconds.
