Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

The ABS
maximize the chances of keeping
the motorcycle under control when
braking. The
braking 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.

as a non-ABS braking system.
Do not continue to ride for longer than
is necessary with the warning light
illuminated. In the event of a fault,
contact an authorized Triumph dealer
as soon as possible to have the fault
checked and rectified.
In this situation, braking too hard will
cause the wheels to lock resulting
in loss of motorcycle control and an

the wheels to lock resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Note
The ABS operation may feel like a harder
pedal pressure or a pulsation of the
brake lever and pedal.
The ABS is not an integrated braking
system and does not control both the
front and rear brake at the same time
so this pulsation may be felt in the lever,
the pedal or both.
The ABS may be activated by sudden
upward or downward changes in the
road surface.
