Anti-Lock Brake System (Abs) (Fes125A/150A) - Honda FES125 S-wing Owner's Manual

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
(FES125A/150A)
This model is also equipped with an Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS) designed to help prevent
wheel lock up during hard braking on uneven
or other poor surfaces while running straight.
Although the wheel may not lock up - if you
are braking too hard in a turn the scooter can
still lose traction, causing a loss of control.
In some situations, a scooter with ABS may
require a longer stopping distance to stop on
loose or uneven surfaces than an equivalent
scooter without ABS.
ABS cannot make up for road conditions,
bad judgement, or improper operation of the
brakes. It is still your responsibility to ride at
reasonable speeds for weather, road surface,
and traffic conditions, and to leave a margin
of safety.
ABS is self-checking and always on.
• ABS system may be activated by riding
over a sharp drop or rise in the road level.
It is important to follow the tyre
recommendations (page 42). The ABS
computer works by comparing wheel
speed. Non recommended tyres can affect
wheel speed and may confuse the ABS
computer.
• ABS does not function at low speeds
(approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or below).
• ABS does not function if the battery is
discharged.
