How to Ride the Motorcycle
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
Warning
Where equipped, ABS prevents the
wheels from
maximizing 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

with ABS may

ABS Warning Light
The
illuminates to show that the ABS
function is not available. Illumination is
normal after engine start-up, and until
the motorcycle first reaches a speed
exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h). Unless there
is a fault, it should not illuminate again
until the engine is restarted.
If the indicator light becomes illuminated
at any other time while riding, it indicates
that the ABS has a malfunction that
requires investigation.
• 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
is
changes in the road surface.
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as
a non-ABS braking system. Do not
continue to ride for longer than is
necessary with the indicator light
illuminated.
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 control and an accident.
