HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE

1. Rear brake pedal (Scrambler 400 X
shown)
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
WARNING
The ABS function attempts to
maximize the chances of keeping
the motorcycle under control when
braking. The potentially shorter
braking distances, ABS allows under
certain conditions, are not a substitute
for good riding practice.
Always ride within the legal speed limit.
Never ride without due care and
attention and always reduce speed
in consideration of weather, road and
traffic conditions.
Under some circumstances it is
possible that a motorcycle equipped
with ABS may require a longer
stopping distance.
Take care when cornering. If the
brakes are applied in a corner, ABS will
not be able to counteract the weight
and momentum of the motorcycle.
Failure to follow the advice above
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING
If the ABS is not functioning or has
been disabled (off-road mode for
Scrambler 400 X only), 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 ABS warning light
illuminated.
In the event of a fault, contact
a competent person with the
specialist knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorized Triumph dealer as soon
as possible to have the fault checked
and rectified.
Braking too hard will cause the wheels
to lock, leading to loss of motorcycle
control which could result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING
After riding off-road with ABS
disabled, always make sure that the
ABS is enabled when returning to ride
on public roads.
Riding on public roads with the ABS
disabled will, if braking too hard, cause
the wheels to lock.
Failure to follow the advice above
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
