Brake Pedal; Abs - Benelli TRK 502 Manual Del Propietário

To adjust the distance between the brake
lever and the accelerator dial, turn the knob
clockwise or anticlockwise; anticlockwise
will move the lever closer, while clockwise
will move it further away. Make sure that the
correct adjustment, set from the adjustment
gauge is in line with the brake lever reference
"▲".

Brake pedal

The brake pedal is located on the right side of
the motorcycle. To apply the rear brake, press
down on the brake pedal.

ABS

The anti-lock system (ABS) is designed to pre-
vent locking of wheels during braking.
The ABS controls the braking power automa-
tically and intermittently, allowing the wheels
to gain grip on the road and increasing the
vehicle stability.
• For more efficiency, use the front brake
and the rear one at the same time and
in the same manner, as on a vehicle wi-
thout ABS.
• The ABS cannot compensate the road
harsh conditions or an improper use of
the braking system. During braking, act
with the same care as in case of a vehicle
without ABS.
• The anti-lock system (ABS) helps to pre-
vent locking of wheels during braking
with motorcycle in straight line.
• During cornering, it is advisable to use
both brakes in a soft manner and to re-
duce the speed gradually. As on a tradi-
tional braking system, a hard and exces-
sive braking may cause a sudden lock of
the wheels and the motorcycle loss of
control.
• During braking, the ABS will not prevent the
rear wheel from raising form the ground.
• The ABS control unit always uses the
vehicle speed data and wheel rotation
speed. Do not use non-approved tyres
to avoid ABS malfunctioning and cause
an extension of the braking distance.

WARNING
The ABS cannot protect the rider from any
danger and it is necessary to drive the vehi-
cle in a responsible way. It is important to
know the ABS operation and its limits.
It is the responsibility of the rider to drive
in a responsible way, according to the type
of asphalt, road and traffic conditions.
TIP
• The ABS light may go on during extreme
driving conditions or in situations that
lead to a different rotation speed of the
front and rear wheels. In this situation,
it is necessary to bring the ignition key
to "OFF" position, and then back to "ON"
position. After this procedure, the ABS
light will turn off.
• If the light will still stay on even after
having reached or exceeded the speed
of about 5 km/h, contact an authorized
Benelli service centre for checking.
• When the ABS is working, a pulsation
may be felt on the brake lever or the pe-
dal.
• The ABS is not active when the speed is
below or equal to about 5 km/h.
• The ABS does not work in case of low
battery.
