Installing ABS for indian bikes

February 18th, 2010 by Rider | Posted under General News.

The first complaint about the pulsar bike was that “The brakes will kill people”. At that time people were unaware of disk brakes and its efficiency. People would just slam on the brakes and lose control of their bike and fall down. There comes the use of ABS ,it divides the motion of the  wheel in a second to a number of smaller motions ie the wheel will not be locked. If the wheel is not locked it will not skid and the stopping distance will be reduced.

ABS stands for anti lock braking system, from the early 20 century it has been around. In India the first two wheeler to sport a disk brake was the Enfield fury. But till date no other bike in the mass production category have sported a ABS. A company in India is producing mechanical brakes for bikes in India. You can order in through www.SafeRideABS.com. The price tag is also reasonable which is 1250/-rs including courier charges but excluding shipment charges.

The steps for installation are:

Step 1: First, remove brake oil input pipe from Brake Caliper.
Step 2: Screw oil pipe end to the top of Saferide Adaptor.

Use adequate washers to ensure leak proof joint.

Step 3: Attach side end of Saferide Adaptor to Brake Caliper with the help of stud,

nut and rubber O-ring provided with the pack.

Step 4: After complete assembly, open slightly the oil drain plug (grease nipple covered with rubber cover)

of the Brake Caliper. Pump the brake lever for several times. This will help entire line to be

filled up with Brake oil and help removal of air from the line.

Step 5: Once oil starts coming out of the nipple, immediately tighten it and put back the rubber cover.
Step 6: Now the brake is up and running. Enjoy your SAFE ride !
