WARNING INDICATIONS AND SAFETY SYSTEMS

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
 Anti-lock braking system (ABS) will help prevent the
brakes from locking the wheels, during sudden applica-
tion of the brakes at high speeds or at low friction sur-
faces. This will help the rider to have better traction
and control over the motorcycle and prevent the
motorcycle from skidding which can cause an accident.
 In the event of a sudden and hard application of the
brakes by the rider, the sensors in the braking system

will signal the ABS modulator to momentarily and con-
tinuously reduce the hydraulic pressure and thereby
prevent the brakes from locking the wheels while
reducing the speed of the vehicle. This will help the
rider to control the motorcycle.
 An ABS indicator lamp is provided in the cluster (as
shown in the adjacent image) to warn the rider in the
event of any malfunction of the ABS.
 When the ignition and engine kill switch are switched
in "ON" position the ABS sign will glow and remain
"ON" till the motorcycle attains a speed of 5 kmph
(3.1 mph) and turns "OFF". This indicates the ABS is
functioning properly. If the ABS indicator lamp does
not switch "OFF" and remains continuously "ON" at
higher speeds, it is recommended not to drive the ABS
motorcycle. Get the brake system inspected and cor-
rected through a nearest Authorised Royal Enfield Ser-
vice Centre. Failure to do so can result in a serious
injuries and loss of life.
