How to Ride the Motorcycle
Warning
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a non-
ABS braking system. Do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with the
indicator light illuminated. In the event of a
fault, 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 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
motorcycle is on a stand. This reaction is
normal.
When the ignition is switched off and the
motorcycle is re-started, the warning light
will illuminate until the motorcycle reaches
a speed exceeding 19 mph (30 km/h).
Warning
The ABS computer operates by comparing
the relative speed of the front and rear
wheels. Use of non-recommended tires
can affect wheel speed and cause the ABS
function not to operate, potentially leading
to loss of control and an accident in
conditions where the ABS would normally
function.
