ABS: Tires and Wheels
ABS motorcycles must always use Harley Davidson specified tires and wheels. 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. Operating at tire pressures other than those specified in Specified Tires can
reduce ABS braking performance.
ABS Symptoms and Conditions
SYMPTOM CONDITION
ABS lamp
continuously
lit
ABS malfunction detected. See a Harley Davidson dealer for service.
ABS lamp
flashing
This indicates a normal self diagnostics process when the motorcycle is first turned
on and the speed is under 3 mph 5 km/h . ABS is not operational until the lamp
turns off. If the lamp continues flashing at speeds greater than 3 mph 5 km/h , see
a Harley Davidson dealer for service.
Pulsing
brake lever
or pedal
during an
ABS event
Normal condition.
Clicking
sound
during an
ABS event
Normal condition.
"Surge"
sensation
while
braking
Normal condition. This is most noticeable when braking with one brake (front only
or rear only). Result of a reduction in deceleration which can be caused by cracks
or 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.
Temporarily
stiff rear
brake pedal
Normal condition. Engine braking (high engine RPMs causing the rear wheel to
slow down) or down shifting can activate ABS. If applying the rear brake at the
same time or immediately after, the ABS may be closing a valve to prevent
pressure to the rear brake. This is due to ABS modulating caliper brake pressure to
prevent uncontrolled wheel lock.
Tire chirp Normal condition. Depending on surface, tire can chirp without locking the wheel.
Black mark
on
pavement
Normal condition. Depending on surface, tire can leave a black mark without
locking the wheel.
Wheel lock
at low
speed
Normal condition. ABS will not activate on front wheel below 3 mph 5 km/h or on
rear wheel below 5 mph 8 km/h .
Reflex Linked Brake Operation
2014 and later Touring motorcycles with the Reflex anti lock brake system have electronically
linked brake functionality. This linked brake system provides more responsiveness and allows for
more balanced front and rear braking under a wide variety of brake applications.
At speeds greater than 20 25 mph 32 40 km/h , the system dynamically adjusts the linking for the
amount of brake applied as well as vehicle speed to achieve a more optimized brake balance.
