Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
Warning
The
ABS
function
maximize the chances of keeping
the motorcycle under control when
braking.
The
potentially
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.
Under
some
circumstances
possible that a motorcycle equipped
with
ABS
may

For information on the ABS function and
operation, see page 41.
ABS Warning Light
When the ignition switch is
turned on, it is normal for the
ABS warning light to flash on
and off (see page 30). If the
ABS
warning
light
illuminated it indicates that the ABS
function is not available because:
the ABS has been disabled by the
▼
rider;
the ABS has a malfunction that
▼
requires investigation.

investigation.
Note
The ABS operation may feel like a harder
pedal pressure or a pulsation of the
brake lever and pedal.
The ABS may be activated by sudden
upward or downward changes in the
road surface.
Warning
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a
non-ABS equipped brake system.
Do not continue to ride for longer than
is necessary with the warning light
illuminated.
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 accident.
Warning
The ABS warning light will illuminate
when the rear wheel is driven at high
speed for more than 30 seconds when
the motorcycle is on a stand. This
reaction is normal.
When the ignition is switched off
and the motorcycle is restarted, the
warning light will illuminate until the
motorcycle reaches a speed exceeding
19 mph (30 km/h).
