you pull it gently, which is a normal phenomenon.
In the event of an emergency brake in response to a
special road condition, ABS system helps preventing
a locked wheel resulting from the sudden braking
action, allowing the rider being able to steer the
vehicle smoothly. An ABS system controls the
braking force automatically to prevent the tire from
skidding.
An ABS system will not shorten braking distance in
the following conditions: when running on a soft and
unleveled road or a descending slope, the braking
distance is even longer than a vehicle without ABS.
Therefore models with ABS have the optimal
performances on flat road surfaces.
An ABS System comprises an ABS ECU and front
and rear tire speed sensors. Using tires not
conforming to original specifications may affect the
detection of speed sensors and result in abnormal
ABS activation.
Using tires not conforming to original size
specifications may result in malfunctioning of the
ABS system, or even an accident of the rider due to
malfunctioned activation of the Anti-lock Braking
System. Therefore it is a must that you use tires
conforming to KYMCO specifications.
When ABS activates, you may feel a light vibration
on the Brake Lever, which is a normal phenomenon.
When vehicle speed is below 6km/h, the ABS system
will not activate.
When the power fails or the system is faulty, it will
lead to the failure of the ABS System. At this time,
the ABS brake indicator will be lit.
