Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
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.
1. The anti-lock brake system cannot be turned off.
2. The ABS indicator always illuminates when vehicle power is turned on. It remains illuminated until the anti-lock system
activates, which occurs when vehicle speed exceeds 6 MPH (10 km/h).
3. When the lamp is illuminated, the anti-lock brakes will not activate, but the conventional brake system will continue to
operate normally.
4. 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.
5. If the ABS light does not come on when the key is turned to the ON or PARK position, see your authorized INDIAN
MOTORCYLE dealer for service.
