ABS: How To Use
While an advantage in emergency braking, ABS is not a substitute for safe riding. The safest way
to stop a motorcycle is upright with both wheels straight.
Harley Davidson ABS is a manual assist system. When in an emergency stopping situation,
maintain pressure on the brakes through all ABS events. Do not modulate or "pump" the brake
controls. The wheels won't lock until the end of the stop when motorcycle speed reaches
approximately four miles per hour and ABS is no longer needed.
ABS cannot prevent lockup of rear wheel due to engine
braking. ABS will not aid in cornering or on loose/uneven
surfaces. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of
vehicle control, which could result in death or serious
injury. (00362a)

ABS: Tires and Wheels
ABS motorcycles must always use tires and wheels that are the same as the original equipment.
The ABS monitors the rotational speed of the wheels through individual wheel speed sensors.
Changing to different diameter wheels or different sized tires can alter the rotational speed. This
can upset the calibration of the ABS and have an adverse effect on its ability to detect and
prevent uncontrolled wheel lockups. Tire inflation pressure that is significantly low also can have
an adverse effect.

bumps in road, engine braking (high engine RPMs causing the rear wheel to slow
down), hard braking at slow speeds, and other conditions. This is due to ABS
modulating caliper brake pressure to prevent uncontrolled wheel lock.
