Abs (Anti-Lock Brake System) - (If Fitted) - Triumph Tiger 800 Owner's Handbook Manual

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) -
(if fitted)
Warning
Where fitted, ABS prevents the wheels
from locking, therefore maximising the
effectiveness of the braking system in
emergencies and when riding on slippery
surfaces. The potentially shorter braking
distances ABS allows under
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 it is possible
that a motorcycle equipped with ABS may
require a longer stopping distance than an
equivalent motorcycle without ABS.
How to Ride the Motorcycle
ABS Warning Light
The
illuminates to show that the ABS
function is not available, or that
the ABS has been disabled by the rider (see
page 29). 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, or the system has been
disabled, it should not illuminate again until
the engine is restarted.
certain
If the indicator light becomes illuminated at
any other time while riding, it indicates that
the ABS has a malfunction that requires
investigation.
Note:
• 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
changes in the road surface.
