    ABS in India

    Right now, in Indian motorcycles we still dont have the system. But in cars, yes we have it, but, at a cost, Aswe now know, ABS stands for Antilock Braking System. This is a device which avoids locking of wheelsequipped with hydraulic brakes.

  • Types of ABS

    ABS comes with two different types. One is mechanical and another is ECU based. If I am not mistaken, thefirst motorcycle with an ECU controlled ABS in India and for Indian roads is CBR1000 by Honda.

    The mechanical system works on pressure but continuously varies it according to the pressure applied by therider on the brake lever. An ECU controlled ABS works in a smarter way because it is based on sensors and aprocessor which work together to vary braking force based on numerous information for the bikes systemssuch as throttle position, vehicle speed, angle of lean etc. It is bit complicated to understand.

    Installing Mechanical ABS For Your Bike

    But lets talk about mechanical ABS. Its a good news to all moto lovers in India that an Indian basedcompany actually manufactures Mechanical ABS systems themselves.

    The system was introduced by company called EATA Plast Fabrics. And they currently manufactureMechanical ABS for Indian motorcycles. When I saw the article related to ABS in Bike India magazine Iwas very curious to understand it. But since no one has ever got an ABS system in India which can be fittedto any of our Indian made motorcycles. I bought the system online and tested it on a ThunderBird Twin Sparkand a Bajaj Avenger.

    The result was amazing. I could instantly feel the change between both the brakes, I meant, without and withABS. The bike can stop without skidding under hard braking. The system works 2-3 times per second. Whenrider presses the brake lever it applies variable pressure to the brake pads hence making sure that the brakesmaintain maximum pressure while keeping wheel lock aside on any surface.

    But it depends on vehicle speed. If the speed or load of the motorcycle is high then the system works faster.That means the system is activated 2-3 times every second the brakes are applied. This system is relies onsome mechanical spares. The unit is quite small and can fit onto any motorcycle without any alterations orchanges. You can roll back to original if you dont want it.

    The only catch is that Bajaj vehicles need different spares forABS, but for other motorcycles all the spares are same. Bajaj has got a different threading style. So EATAPlast Fabrics provides spares for that too. You can order ABS online through www.SafeRideABS.com or canorder from me also.

    The price tag is very reasonable which is M.R.P.1250/- without shipment charges. The price tag on site isincluded courier charges. Rest of the information you can get is from their website. This system is not

  • suitable for foreign motorcycles. Get it as fast as possible and fix it from your skilled and professionalmechanic.

    Friends, remember one thing this system is not an entertainment plug in. It is A Guaranteed Hardcore SafetyDevice, In effect, you can brake on any surface, be it water, mud or gravel, with full force at any speedwithout having the fear of locking the wheels and crashing.

    Do not hesitate to buy. The installation guide is packaged along with the unit, if you have any doubts feel freeto contact me or you can contact the concerned company directly.

    No. ABS units for all the bikes are same and so the cost(MRP 1250/- + Courier Charges). The onlyreason in Bajaj is the thread difference nothing else. So Saferide company gives the differentattachment for Bajaj. Dont worry to solve this problem I will show you theabs unit but for that youwill have to mail me. send your test mail on [email protected] so I can send you the ABS picture.All the proper attachment you will get in one pack. Yet any company has not given the approval toABS coz its retro unit well you can ask the same Qeustion to saferide company..

I suggest gofor only front disc not for rear. Rear disc brakes are always low in efficiency for security purpose.

    i own a apache rtr fi 160. im facing a horrible time with it as i tend to lost control when i brake.

    Even the slightest touches tend to lock the wheels. The bikes weight shifts and its like gonna topple tomy left when i usually use my foot to balance it

    After a few falls, I reduced my speed, gave the bike for service, checked everythig, put new brake pads,etc., but in vain. Others who try to my bike give me bad feedback lose control @ braking .. almostcrashed etc.,

    Im considering changing my tyres

    Suggest me which one to go ??

    Also, will installing ABS help me ?? Should i install @ rear and front or only at front ?

    Chinmay November 22, 2009 at 5:38 am

    ABS will certainly help you. Value for money. But dont install at rear. Go for only front..

    Maximum acidents occur because of brake lock or urgent disc brake apply. So I feel best solution fordisc brake system is ABS(tough it is mechanical base but awesome effective.) by changing the tyre willnot solve your problem.

    Hey Chinmay,

    Thanks for the extensive review of SafeRideAbs, couple of queries though.

    1)How is SafeRideAbs different from its Chinese siblings which are sold at even less than half ofSafeRideAbs price , courtesy KRP Delhi (http://www.goforkrp.com/ http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/attachments/motorbikes/80520d1229588171-first-tvs-plans-offer-abs-2-wheelers-krp_letter.doc ) Theconcern is that I dont want to risk my safety for Chinese stuff if quality Indian stuff is available, whichI hope SafeRideAbs is.

    2)What is the estimated life span of SafeRideAbs and is there any experience of SafeRideAbs failing orruining the brakes,

    3)I have R15 and both the disc brakes serve the purpose. But I wont mind shelling out couple of grandsfor this extra and assured(which I hope) safety . Is it advisable to experiment this kit on only one of thedisc brakes (please suggest rear or front) or to both the brakes .

    I got SafeRideAbs on front disc brake and instantly I could feel the change. Though brakes get lockedif u really squeeze the hell out of front brakes but the performance is decent. My mechanic tried hard toinstall it in rear disc brake but due to exhaust being pretty close to rear tyre, it was bit difficult to get iton. We will try tomorrow for the same. Anyone who got it installed on rear disc brakes of Yamaha R15,please share your experience. And the good news is that we have a dealer in Hyderabad.

  • clustering of rear tyre, disc brakes , chassis support and exhaust in R15 , we couldnt get it fittedwithout removing the rear disc calliper . And this was not all , we had a tough time pumping out airbubbles and adjusting rear disc brakes. We had atleast 3 rounds of testing to ensure that the rear brakewas back to normal experience. Oil spillage on disc made the work tougher. Finally I got my bikewashed and I was ready for my ride. On my way back home I felt that the pads of rear discs were notadjusted properly and they needed immediate attention. Today I skipped my office first session to get itcleared from Yamaha Workshop(Pearl Yamaha ,Kondapur) . Now with all things done I am ready totest it for a while. Though on rock hard braking rear tyre locks but I could feel the pulsating effect onmy rear discs like the front one. The dealer (Mr Prabhakar 9248003766 http://www.probikers.in ) wasreal kind in extending his helping hand for this extra hassle. Not to mention he got everything done(front+rear+mechanic charges) for flat Rs. 2400 . An additional 50 Rs for getting rear disc padsadjusted, chain alignment and front disc pads checked at Yamaha workshop. The dealer had it installedon both discs of his P220 and he assurred that he didnt face any issues for last one year.I dont know whether this much hassle is worth the change in rear discs performance , but if rear discsperform as better as the front one I will consider it as worth the pain. I will keep you posted.

  • Guys Brakes are the most important safety system in motorcycles. Fitting ABS is not a joke,

    U have to make new hydraulic connections from master cylinders to HECU and HECU to Caliperassembly both for front and rear brakes.

    The HECU gets its inputs from wheel speed sensors which work in combination with tonner wheel thearrangment is complex.The HECU / ABS activation is based on the algorithm in ECU, I doubt no oneother than Professionals like TVS would have algorithm that suits Indian road conditions .

    Also the ABS unit consumes power (20-30 watts appx) , magneto of ur bike is designed for certainlevel of power output and not for additional electrical accesories . In case the your are able to do themechanical conections and make ABS work but power supply may not be adequate to operate ABS allthe time.

    The chances of failure are very high. Its not recommended to used after market ABS on ur bike andrisk your life at high speeds on road.

    You have brakes which work,so just throttle. cruise to the top speed and enjoy ur ride.

    I have fitted ABS on both of the brakes of my R15 . Fitting ABS on rear brake is a pain due to crampedcluster or Chassis and exhaust. I had to do only after removing the tyre. You can give it a try . For frontbrake , the improvement was impressive but on rear it was not as impressive. Still any good isappreciable.

    In usage of time say 1-2 years, if something in that metallic unit breaks down (during driving or it stopsfunctioning), can i still use the old-brakes. Or rather will the old-method braking, still continue towork, if the system fails at any point of time

    Fails safe approach is critical. Is it not ?

    Hi Praveen,

    Looks from the feedback of folks who have used it & video-demo, i am sure it works quite genuinely. Ialso had similar questions, which abs-people have answered and i have inlined in below for everyonesbenefit.Yes, your third-question on safety is the most-critical one, which i am also concerned about.

    Here are my questions (you can see above) and answers from ABS-team:1. I can order online, but is there anyone in bangalore who can help in fitting it.ABS: Any corner mechanic can fit it. You just have to follow Installation CD which we shall provideyou alongwith the product.

    2. Any device has wear and tear in usage of time any device can fail or malfunction..ABS: Usually not; provided you see after proper maintenance (removal of dirt/dust etc. time to timewhile servicing the bike).

    3. If the device fails (while driving) does it allow the normal brakes to work properly, or will thenormal brakes fail to work until the faulty-device is removed. ABS: WE HAVE NOT YET SEEN SUCH A CASE. BUT YES, ON REMOVAL OF SAFERIDE,NORMAL BRAKES WILL DEFINITELY WORK.

    My final comment: From their answer i can see that in case of failure of the abs (while bike is running),looks like my normal brake will not work unless i remove the abs-unit that has failed. If Normal-braking SAFETY is Guaranteed (even on device failure, while the bike is running), then this is surely agood product, i will buy and recommend every single biker to buy, but not until then.However this is my personal opinion, from the feedbacks of many i see its a good product. Just dont gofor the LOW-cost chinese makes which are available at 600 Rs etc,.

    Additional advice, please buy riding gears (Fox, cramster or DSG), buy a pair of good gloves, ridingjacket, or atleast knee and wrist guard armours. They are equally good investment and you will findgood advise in several websites. For even if you have the ABS unit, you could still fall due to severalother reasons. So protecting your body smartly with these armours i have found it to be quite helpful.

    Wish youSafe Driving and Long life

    Hi Chinmay,

    I bought Honda CBR 250r Standard model in May2011. Unfortunately, ABS model was not availablethat time so I went for Standard model. Now I want to fit ABS for my Honda CBR 250r STD model(same as that of Honda CBR 250r ABS model).

    So is it possible?

    Hi Guys,

    Is ABS really needed in a byke? Apache rtr 180 cost 11000 Rs more with ABS. Is ABS worth thismoney. Does it give really that much advantage and protection while braking?
