Warning Indicators On or Flashing

ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) Indicator

If the indicator operates in one of the following ways, you may have a serious problem with the ABS. Reduce your speed and have your vehicle inspected by your dealer as soon as possible.


  • Indicator comes on or starts flashing while riding.
  • Indicator does not come on when the ignition switch is in the (On) position.
  • Indicator does not go off at speeds above 10 km/h (6 mph).
  • If the ABS indicator stays on, your brakes will continue to work as a conventional system, but without the anti-locking function.


    The ABS indicator may flash if you turn the rear wheel while the rear wheel is lifted off the ground. In this case, turn the ignition switch to the (Off) position, and then to the (On) position again. The ABS indicator will go off after your speed reaches 30 km/h (19 mph).
