Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) (if equipped)
The anti-lock brake system automatically adjusts brake pressure as needed to provide optimum braking control, reducing the chance of wheel lock-up during hard braking events or when braking on rough, uneven, slippery or loose surfaces. See Anti-Lock Brake System Response (if equipped).
-
The anti-lock brake system cannot be turned off.
-
The ABS indicator always illuminates when vehicle power is turned on. It remains illuminated until the anti-lock system activates, which occurs when vehicle speed exceeds 6 MPH (10 km/h).
-
When the lamp is illuminated, the anti-lock brakes will not activate, but the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally.
-
When the anti-lock brakes engage during a braking event, the rider will feel pulsing at the brake levers. Continue to apply steady pressure to the brakes for the best stopping performance.
-
If the ABS light does not come on when the key is turned to the ON or PARK position, your authorized INDIAN MOTORCYLE dealer can assist.
-
If the lamp continues to illuminate after vehicle speed exceeds 6 MPH (10 km/h), the ABS system is not functioning. See your INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer or other dealer promptly for service.
-
Operating with non-recommended tires or improper tire pressure may reduce the effectiveness of the anti-lock brake system. Always use the recommended size and type of tires specified for your vehicle. Always maintain the recommended tire pressure.
-
The anti-lock brake system will not prevent wheel lockup, loss of traction or loss of control under all conditions. Always adhere to all safe motorcycle-riding practices as recommended.
-
It is not unusual to leave tire marks on the road surface during a hard braking event.
-
The anti-lock brake system does not compensate for or reduce the risks associated with:
-
excessive speed
-
reduced traction on rough, uneven or loose surfaces
-
poor judgment
-
improper operation
