pulsing of the hand and foot brake levers.

switched on and go out after starting off. If it does not go out after
starting off or if it lights up while riding, this indicates an error
in the anti-lock brake system. In this case, the ABS is no longer
enabled and the wheels may lock during braking. The brake
system itself stays functional; only ABS control is not available.
The ABS warning lamp may also light up if the rotating speeds of
the front and rear wheels differ greatly under extreme riding con-
ditions, for example when making "wheelies" or if the rear wheel
spins. This causes the ABS to switch off.
To reactivate the ABS, stop the vehicle and switch off the ignition.
The ABS is reactivated when the vehicle is switched on again. The
ABS warning lamp goes out after starting off.
