When the ABS light is displayed on the dashboard, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's ABS system. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. During startup, the ABS indicator light will illuminate for approximately 3 seconds as the system performs a self-check, and it should automatically turn off afterward. When you rapidly press the brake pedal to the floor while driving, the ABS will activate, causing the light to illuminate, and it will turn off once you release the brake. If the ABS system malfunctions, it is advisable not to continue driving. You can rely on the conventional braking system to proceed to a repair shop as soon as possible. While driving, ensure you reduce speed, maintain a steady pace, and avoid aggressive driving.

How to Drain Gasoline from a Motorcycle?

About the method of draining gasoline from a motorcycle is as follows: 1. Method One Turn off the fuel valve below the fuel tank. There is a fuel line between the fuel valve and the carburetor. Disconnect the fuel line at the carburetor end, aim it at the oil collection container, open the fuel tank valve, and start draining the gasoline until it is completely drained. 2. Method Two Disconnecting the fuel line at the carburetor end is relatively more troublesome and not easy to operate. If there is another fuel line available, it is better to directly disconnect the fuel line at the fuel tank end, connect the other fuel line to it, open the valve, and drain the gasoline into a pre-prepared container.
