ABS Disabled (Conventional Mode)

 

During cruising (without braking) or in case of a malfunction with the ABS, the ECU stops operating. This is “Conventional Mode”.

 

When the caliper fluid pressure is to be increased, first the tappet of inlet solenoid valve opens (normally open). The brake fluid flows through the valve body as shown in the diagram below to increase the brake fluid pressure in the caliper. The master cylinder pressurizes to the brake caliper directly, increasing the braking force.

2. Front Inlet Solenoid Valve

 

3. Pump Motor

5. Front Reservoir

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Technical Information – ABS (Anti – Lock Brake System)

 

Riding Characteristics of ABS

 

ABS is designed to help prevent the wheels from locking up when hard brakes are applied while running straight. The ABS automatically regulates brake force. Intermittently gaining gripping force and braking force helps prevent wheel lock-up and allows stable steering control while stopping.

 

Brake control function is identical to that of a conventional motorcycle. The brake lever is used for the front brake and the brake pedal for the rear brake.

 

Although the ABS provides stability while stopping by preventing wheel lock-up, remember the fol-lowing characteristics:

 

○ABS cannot compensate for adverse road conditions, misjudgement or improper application of brakes. You must take the same care as with motorcycles not equipped with ABS.

 

○ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. On loose, uneven or downhill surfaces, the stopping distance of a motorcycle with ABS may be longer than that of an equivalent motorcycle without ABS. Use special caution in such areas.

 

○ABS will help prevent wheel lock-up during straight-up braking, but it cannot control wheel slip which may be caused by braking during cornering. When turning a corner, it is better to limit braking to the light application of both brakes or not to brake at all. Reduce your speed before you get into the corner.

 

○The ECU integrated in the ABS compare vehicle speed with wheel speed. Since non-recommended tires can affect wheel speed, they may confuse the ECU, which can extend braking distance.

WARNING

 

Use of non-recommended tires may cause malfunctioning of ABS and can lead to extended braking distance. The rider could have an accident as a result. Always use recommended standard tires for this motorcycle.

 

NOTE

○When the ABS is functioning, you may feel a pulsing in the brake lever or pedal. This is normal. You need not suspend applying brakes.

○Immediately after turning the ignition switch on, you may hear a click of the relay operating. This is the sound of self-checking and is quite normal.

○ABS does not function at the speed of approx. 6 km/h or below. ○ABS does not function if the battery is discharged.

Torque and Locking Agent

 

The following tables list the tightening torque for the major fasteners requiring use of a non-permanent locking agent or silicone sealant etc.

 

Letters used in the “Remarks” column mean:

 

AL: Tighten the two clamp bolts alternately two times to ensure even tightening torque. EO: Apply engine oil.

 

L: Apply a non-permanent locking agent to the threads. Lh: Left-hand threads

 

MO: Apply molybdenum disulfide oil solution.

 

(mixture of the engine oil and molybdenum disulfide grease in a weight ratio 10: 1)

 

R: Replacement Parts

 

S: Follow the specified tightening sequence. Si: Apply silicone grease (ex. PBC grease).
