Brakes Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) (if equipped) The anti-lock brake system automatically reduces or increases brake pressure as needed to provide optimum braking control, reducing the chance of wheel lock-up during hard braking events or when braking on rough, uneven, slippery or loose surfaces. See page 8. • The anti-lock brake system cannot be turned off. • The ABS indicator always illuminates when the key is in the ON or PARK position and remains on until the anti-lock system activates, which occurs when vehicle speed exceeds 6 MPH (10 km/h). • When the lamp is illuminated, the anti-lock brakes will not activate, but the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally. • When the anti-lock brakes engage during a braking event, the rider will feel pulsing at the brake levers. Continue to apply steady pressure to the brakes for the best stopping performance. • If the ABS light does not come on when the key is turned to the ON or PARK position, see your authorized VICTORY dealer for service. • If the lamp continues to illuminate after vehicle speed exceeds 6 MPH (10 km/h), the ABS system is not functioning. See your VICTORY dealer promptly for service. • Operating with non-recommended tires or improper tire pressure may reduce the effectiveness of the anti-lock brake system. Always use the recommended size and type of tires specified for your vehicle. Always maintain the recommended tire pressure. • The anti-lock brake system will not prevent wheel lockup, loss of traction or loss of control under all conditions. Always adhere to all safe motorcycle-riding practices as recommended. • It is not unusual to leave tire marks on the road surface during a hard braking event. • The anti-lock brake system does not compensate for or reduce the risks associated with: excessive speed reduced traction on rough, uneven or loose surfaces poor judgment improper operation 32
