How to Ride the Motorcycle
84
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 il-
luminated. In this situation, braking too
hard will cause the wheels to lock re-
sulting in loss of control and an
accident.
Contact an authorised Triumph dealer
as soon as possible to have the fault
checked and rectified.
Warning
The ABS warning light will illuminate
when the rear wheel is driven at high
speed for more than 30 seconds when
the motorcycle is on a stand. This
reaction is normal.
When the ignition is switched off and
the motorcycle is re-started, the warn-
ing light will illuminate until the
motorcycle reaches a speed exceeding
19 mph (30 km/h).
Warning
The ABS computer operates by com-
paring 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 conditions where the ABS
would normally function.
Optimised Cornering ABS
Note:
• Only Speed Triple RS is equipped
with the optimised cornering ABS.
The optimised cornering ABS is a
system designed to give the rider
increased control should the ABS be
activated whilst the motorcycle is
leaning in a corner.
A sensor constantly monitors the lean
angle of the motorcycle. If the motorcy-
cle is leaning in a corner and the ABS is
activated, the system will use the lean
angle measurement to apply the ABS in
a manner most suitable to help the rider
maintain motorcycle control.
Warning
The optimised cornering ABS is a
system designed to help the rider in
emergency braking situations.
The system is designed to give the
rider increased control should the ABS
be activated whilst the motorcycle is
leaning in a corner.
The potential increased control that
the optimised cornering braking
system allows under certain conditions
is not a substitute for good riding
practice.
