A magnetised brake disc and/or a magnetised ABS pulser ring may cause problems
with the ABS sensor which will illuminate the ABS warning light and disable the ABS.
To prevent these parts becoming magnetised, we strongly recommend that magnets,
and items that contain magnets, must not be stored near or placed on brake discs or
ABS pulser rings.
This includes parts fitted to motorcycles, parts removed during motorcycle service and
new parts in dealer stores.
Examples of items that may contain magnets, are listed below:
- Alternator rotor
- Magnetic fuel tank bags
- Audio speakers
- Magnetic dial test indicator stand
- Magnetic parts tray.
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. Ride with extreme caution when performing diagnostic
troubleshooting on a non-functioning ABS system. In this situation braking too hard
will cause the wheels to lock resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Brake Pads Wear
Front and rear brake pad wear is automatically compensated for and has no effect on
brake lever or pedal action.
