Do's and Dont's
Whenever you your vehicle ride , Wheel
speed sensor monitors the speed of the
wheel and send the input to s Hydraulic
Electronic control unit (HECU). Then
HECU takes control monitors your bike and
when vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h.
•
It is recommended that ABS should be
serviced at Authorised Hero MotoCorp
workshop.
•
rIf brake gets wet, apply the b ake while
riding at low speed to help them dry .
•
Carefully remove the wheel during the
puncture/tyre replacement to prevent the
Sensing ring damage/bend.
•
Check your brake pads and be sure you
have clean brake fluid. ABS systems can
also fail due to worn brake pads or air or dirt
in brake fluid.
•
Read your owner's manual for additional
riding instructions.
•
Use the recommended brake fluid.
•
Keep checking speedometer. In case of ABS
malfunction, speed display may go to zero.
•
Use only the recommended make, type, size
of tyre and maintain specified tyre pressure
(page 63).
Now whenever you will apply front brake,
ABS will come into picture and based on the
input from wheel speed sensor, HECU will
modulate the pressure at front caliper thus
avoiding wheel to lock and in turn resulting
safe stop of the vehicle.
Do's
•
rDo not inse t any metallic part near wheel
speed sensor.
•
Don't apply the hard braking in wet or rainy
conditions and while taking a turn.
•
encoderDo not attempt to correct the teeth
by bending manually or by using any other
mode . Do not use a different encoder teeth
•
Don't use the non-genuine spares like pads,
discs, tyres etc.
•
Do not adjust the wheel speed sensor air
gap yourself.
•
Don't try to service HECU or open to
separate the parts.
•
Always maintain sufficient distance from the
objects/vehicles ahead, for proper braking
and to match riding speed.
•
On certain surfaces, such as rough road or
gravel road, brake lever may have
hard/pulsating feel. Apply full braking on
the lever even on the hard or pulsating feel
of the lever to get the optimum
performance.
Don't's
•
Don't panic by mechanical noises or slight
lever pulses while applying the brake
(whenever ABS actuates) in vehicle. These
conditions are normal and indicates that
ABS is working.
•
In case of ABS malfunction, the brake
system will work as conventional (Non-
ABS) brake. Rider is recommended not to
apply hard brake to prevent wheel lock and
