ABS brakes?

I love The Far Side.

I missed a couple of days, and I was gonna say that!

The notched ring on the right side and the ABS light on dash will blink after starting. Light goes out after 5 or 6 mph.

Thanks for the diagram. Very useful. Apparently my bike is not equipped with ABS.

The pulsar ring and the wire with a sensor on the right had side of the front wheel is the easy clue - you can tell just by seeing a photo.
The other clue is the dash. Right hand side. 3 red lights on mine (UK model) FI, ABS, Oil can.

The ABS light will stay on utnil you have started moving. If it goes out, ABS is working. If it stays on, ABS has an issue. Safe to ride, but ABS will not operate if a wheel locks.
If the light isn't there, I guess that ABS isn't fitted.

Thanks! Figured out not ABS on my bike

You’re going to confuse him, the tone ring and sensor are on the right side of the wheel. I suspect his bike is non-ABS or he would have noticed the ABS self check light upon start up.

Correct, not ABS

Nice one @Gus1300 - that is exactly how it feels. I know that it will just click one day. I thought that having had a similar experience of riding with a sidecar, that I’d adapt fairly quickly. I’ve had the trike for nearly 3 months now, but have only been able to ride it 3 times. The roads have been wet or icy - and apparently these machines slip very easily on wet roads. I don’t know, but don’t intend to find out until my reactions are the correct way round.

Curiosity though - I am much better at taking right hand corners than left. (I’m in the uk - we drive on the left). I’m pretty sure that is 45 year old sidecar memory. Take a left hander too quickly - turning towards the chair - the sidecar wheel lifts. Right hander corners are much easier and much more fun.

Anyway - that is a big hijack of @mykv’s post. I notice that he hasn’t replied since posting. Sorry @mykv. Did you get the answer that you are looking for? Does your bike have ABS ?

Yes, figured out it does not have ABS. Thanks!
