Abs - Yamaha FJR1300AS 2011 Owner's Manual

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

ABS

The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS is
monitored by an ECU, which will have
recourse to manual braking if a mal-
3 function occurs.
WARNING
G
The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.
G
On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead to match the riding
speed.
TIP
G The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test for a few seconds each
time the vehicle first starts off after
the key was turned to "ON". During
this test, a "clicking" noise can be
heard from under the seat, and if
the brake lever or brake pedal are
EAU39533 even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever and pedal,
but these do not indicate a mal-
function.
G When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake lever or brake pedal,
but this does not indicate a mal-
EWA10090
function.
G This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsating at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is oper-
ating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer when performing
this test.
NOTICE
Keep any type of magnets (including
magnetic pick-up tools, magnetic
screwdrivers, etc.) away from the
front and rear wheel hubs, otherwise
the magnetic rotors equipped in the
wheel hubs may be damaged, result-
ing in improper performance of the
ABS system.
