ABS Warning Light
When the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position, it is normal
for the ABS warning light to flash
on and off (see page 27). If the ABS warning
light is constantly illuminated it indicates that
the ABS has a malfunction that requires
investigation.
If the indicator light becomes illuminated
while riding, it indicates that the ABS has a
malfunction that requires investigation.
• Normally, the rider will perceive
ABS operation as a harder feel or a
pulsation of the brake lever and
pedal. The ABS is not an integrated
braking system; it controls both the
front and rear brakes independently,
so this pulsation may be felt in the
lever, the pedal or both.
• The ABS may be activated by
sudden upward or
changes (for example bumps or
holes) in the road surface.
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 authorised 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.

The ABS warning light will illuminate when
the rear wheel is driven at high speed for
more than
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).
The ABS computer operates by comparing
the relative speed of the front and rear
wheels. Use of non-recommended tyres
can affect wheel speed and cause the ABS
function not to operate, potentially leading
to loss of control and an accident in
downward
conditions where the ABS would normally
function.
