In the event of an emergency brake in response to a
•
special road condition, ABS system helps preventing a
locked wheel resulting from the sudden braking action,
allowing the rider being able to steer the vehicle
smoothly. An ABS system controls the braking force
automatically to prevent the tire from skidding.
An ABS system will not shorten braking distance in the
•
following conditions: when running on a soft and
unleveled road or a descending slope, the braking
distance is even longer than a vehicle without ABS.
Therefore models with ABS have the optimal
performances on flat road surfaces.
An ABS System comprises an ABS ECU and front and
•
rear tire speed sensors. Using tires not conforming to
original specifications may affect the detection of speed
sensors and result in abnormal ABS activation.
Using
tires
not
•
specifications may result in malfunctioning of the ABS
system, or even an accident of the rider due to
malfunctioned activation of the Anti-lock Braking
System. Therefore it is a must that you use tires
conforming to KYMCO specifications.
When ABS activates, you may feel a light vibration on
•
the Brake Lever, which is a normal phenomenon.
When vehicle speed is below 6 km/h, the ABS system
•
will not activate.
When the power fails or the system is faulty, it will lead
•
to the failure of the ABS System. At this time, the ABS
brake indicator will be lit.
