INSTRUCTIONS
Incase, Malfunction indicator, ABS indicator,
coolant temperature indicator, low battery &
low engine oil pressure indicator glows in

Bajaj Distributors or Bajaj authorised service
centres for inspection / repair.
Always maintain a safe distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be
reduced during extreme road conditions. The braking
distance for motorcycle equipped with an anti-lock
braking system may be longer than for those
without it on rough road conditions. During these
conditions the vehicle should be driven at reduced
speeds.
When you apply Front brake / Rear brake under
conditions which may lock the wheels, you feel a
corresponding sensation (pulsation) in Front brake
lever / Rear brake pedal. This is normal and it
TWIN CHANNEL
ABS SYSTEM
means your ABS is active.
Also it is recommended to use both front & rear
brakes simultaneously.

brake system cannot prevent accidents resulting
from excessive speeds.
If the ABS warning light is ON and stays ON, you
may have a problem with the ABS. In this case,
however, your regular brakes will work normally.
