When the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, it is normal
that the ABS warning light will flash on
and off. The light will continue to flash
after engine start-up until the
motorcycle first reaches a speed
exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h) when it will
go off.
The warning light should not illuminate
again until the engine is restarted
unless there is a fault.
If the warning light becomes illuminated
at any time while riding it indicates that
the ABS has a malfunction that requires
investigation.
Traction Control (TC) Indicator Light
The Traction Control (TC)
indicator light is used to indicate that
the traction control system is active and
is working to limit rear wheel slip during
periods of hard acceleration or under
wet or slippery road conditions. Traction
control will not function if there is a
malfunction with the ABS. The warning
lights for the ABS, traction control and
the MIL will be illuminated.
WARNING
If the traction control is not
functioning, care must be taken when
accelerating and cornering on wet/
slippery road surfaces to avoid rear
wheel spin. Do not continue to ride for
longer than is necessary with the
engine management system
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and
traction control warning lights
illuminated.
The fault must be checked and
rectified by a competent person with
the specialist knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorised Triumph dealer.
Hard acceleration and cornering may
cause the rear wheel to spin, leading
to loss of motorcycle control which
could result in serious injury or death.
