Antilock Braking System (ABS) for Indian Motorcycles


by Deepak on July 8, 2009 The German firm of Robert Bosch GmbH had been developing anti-lock braking technology since the 1930s, but the first production cars using Boschs electronic system became available in 1978. The early era did not have the kind of a technology and sophistication that we have right now. But for its time, the system was superior. But if we were to compare the earlier systems with todays ones it would seem a bit OLD SCHOOL.

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, As we now know, ABS stands for Antilock Braking System. This is a device which avoids locking of wheels equipped with hydraulic brakes. When Bajaj introduced disc brake system, they had a lot of troubles with the design which I guess was due to lack of knowledge. But Royal Enfield was the first to introduce disc brakes in India. They introduced this system in vehicle called Fury. Fury was launched by Royal Enfield Motors. The original company who made this awesome motorcycle was Zundapp. When they launched this powerful moto in India, it came with disc system. The disc system was from BREMBO Germany. One of the biggest companies specializing in disc brakes. Fury had a very good and bad reputation in India. It was very good in speed but very bad in braking due to its Disc Brake system. At the, time the disc brake system was very much unknown to all our Indian friends. So it was much harder to use. People whoever bought FURY had many accidents due to the brakes. Why did this happen? Well the answer is simple: misunderstanding the brakes. Using the front or rear brake depends on the vehicle speed. It has to be in some ratio which we learn by our experience and judgement. Due to wrong usage, Fury owners had problems. But after this long span of time, this system began to be introduced on Indian motorcycles but without an ABS.

Antilock Braking System (ABS) for Indian Motorcycles

http://bikeadvice.in/antilock-braking-system-abs-indian-motorcycles/

Types of ABS
ABS comes with two different types. One is mechanical and another is ECU based. If I am not mistaken, the first 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 the rider on the brake lever. An ECU controlled ABS works in a smarter way because it is based on sensors and a processor which work together to vary braking force based on numerous information for the bikes systems such 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 based company actually manufactures Mechanical ABS systems themselves. The system was introduced by company called EATA Plast Fabrics. And they currently manufacture Mechanical ABS for Indian motorcycles. When I saw the article related to ABS in Bike India magazine I was very curious to understand it. But since no one has ever got an ABS system in India which can be fitted to any of our Indian made motorcycles. I bought the system online and tested it on a ThunderBird Twin Spark and a Bajaj Avenger. The result was amazing. I could instantly feel the change between both the brakes, I meant, without and with ABS. The bike can stop without skidding under hard braking. The system works 2-3 times per second. When rider presses the brake lever it applies variable pressure to the brake pads hence making sure that the brakes maintain 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 on some mechanical spares. The unit is quite small and can fit onto any motorcycle without any alterations or changes. You can roll back to original if you dont want it.

The only catch is that Bajaj vehicles need different spares for ABS, but for other motorcycles all the spares are same. Bajaj has got a different threading style. So EATA Plast Fabrics provides spares for that too. You can order ABS online through www.SafeRideABS.com or can order from me also. The price tag is very reasonable which is M.R.P.1250/- without shipment charges. The price tag on site is included courier charges. Rest of the information you can get is from their website. This system is not

yash July 8, 2009 at 9:13 pm wat a video!an eye opener! but wat did u mention abt bajaj bikes i dint realy get tat do u mean to say it will be costlier to install this system in a bajaj bike than other bikes??? if thye abs costs only 1200 then y arent they company fitted?? Reply Chinmay Dangre July 9, 2009 at 9:04 am No. ABS units for all the bikes are same and so the cost(MRP 1250/- + Courier Charges). The only reason in Bajaj is the thread difference nothing else. So Saferide company gives the different attachment for Bajaj. Dont worry to solve this problem I will show you theabs unit but for that you will have to mail me. send your test mail on macasp@gmail.com 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 to ABS coz its retro unit well you can ask the same Qeustion to saferide company.. Reply Motorbeam.com July 9, 2009 at 2:14 pm No doubt ABS helps but its not a very cost effective option yet. TVS will be the first to get it into regular production.

And if u r manufacturer please let us know more about your product more in detail. Reply chinmay dangre July 15, 2009 at 7:41 am Dear Faiz, You have provided half information about your future project. Project on Hydraulic Brakes, but for which vehicle? If it is for two wheeler then yes I do have project topic for that. But send me test mail at macasp@gmail.com Getting old spares parts is not a big deal. But I would like to know where you from, so I can tell you area for spare parts. Yes it is illegal using modified bikes on road. but u can make it legal by filling RTO forms. But in India RTO hawaldars dont understand the actual law. but they do understand actual money. So they wont catch you. They will catch you for license but not for modifications even if you are on the modified bike. This is legal site for legal advice so I dont advice you to ride modified bike illegaly.

ECU ( Electronic Control Unit ) 2. IFMS (Intelligent Fuel Management System) 3. Speed Sensor I found that these units are mostly for commercial purpose rather than domestic use. Please give us details so our readers can understand proepr way. Besides do you re-write the algorithm for the given pre-defined parameters (gasoline powered motors)? The ECU and its neural network is defined for optimum efficiency. I would like to know about the re-writting of the system for the same for better desire efficiency.

Reply Chinmay August 30, 2009 at 11:59 pm You can order it to me or you can directly buy from the company(http://www.saferideabs.com/). It is the best thing to put. Since it is not any performance oriented spare but it is life saver. I suggest go for only front disc not for rear. Rear disc brakes are always low in efficiency for security purpose. Reply kabilan September 10, 2009 at 2:22 pm hi chinmay, i am going to buy a new rtr 180. i just want to know whether the abs has life long warranty and does fitting it will affect the warranty of the bike ? Reply Chinmay September 11, 2009 at 9:35 pm Dear Kabilan, The warranty issue is limited for ABS, but as far as I am concern with the system and the company they have tested it for long time and got proper results. Regarding the violation of bike after fitting ABS. Well there is no issue or breaking warranty period. But I suggest you to ask TVS people regarding that. Since every company always try to break warranty

by showing some reason. u know that. So I cant say about it. Because ABS is a saftey product not any entertainment stuff. But still..So please check all the parameters before you install it. Reply mano November 21, 2009 at 3:37 am 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 to my 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 .. almost crashed 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 ? Reply 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 for disc brake system is ABS(tough it is mechanical base but awesome effective.) by changing the tyre will not solve your problem.

The safety levels with ABS are very high . I was thrilled by the demo . Reply Dhiraj January 21, 2010 at 12:20 am 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 of SafeRideAbs 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 ) The concern is that I dont want to risk my safety for Chinese stuff if quality Indian stuff is available, which I hope SafeRideAbs is. 2)What is the estimated life span of SafeRideAbs and is there any experience of SafeRideAbs failing or ruining the brakes, 3)I have R15 and both the disc brakes serve the purpose. But I wont mind shelling out couple of grands for this extra and assured(which I hope) safety . Is it advisable to experiment this kit on only one of the disc brakes (please suggest rear or front) or to both the brakes . Thanks, Dhiraj (Hyderabad) Reply Anupdas January 21, 2010 at 4:53 pm That was nice question Dhiraj, when i first heard about it i decided to go for it. Last day in a popular forum i read a post about KRP ABS unit. He has been using it for 6 months and said its working well and the dealers were nice to him in explaining details and installation.

Reply Dhiraj January 25, 2010 at 12:15 pm I got SafeRideAbs on front disc brake and instantly I could feel the change. Though brakes get locked if u really squeeze the hell out of front brakes but the performance is decent. My mechanic tried hard to install it in rear disc brake but due to exhaust being pretty close to rear tyre, it was bit difficult to get it on. 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.

You can directly buy it from there office. Please check the site for detail info. Reply Chinmay January 25, 2010 at 10:54 pm The braking performance of the bike will be hamppered if you install it on rear disc brake. The braking goes on TOSS. The unit is good only for front rotor. ECU controlled ABS is good for both the brakes but not mechanical based system. Reply Dhiraj January 27, 2010 at 12:32 pm @Chinmay.

clustering of rear tyre, disc brakes , chassis support and exhaust in R15 , we couldnt get it fitted without removing the rear disc calliper . And this was not all , we had a tough time pumping out air bubbles and adjusting rear disc brakes. We had atleast 3 rounds of testing to ensure that the rear brake was back to normal experience. Oil spillage on disc made the work tougher. Finally I got my bike washed and I was ready for my ride. On my way back home I felt that the pads of rear discs were not adjusted properly and they needed immediate attention. Today I skipped my office first session to get it cleared from Yamaha Workshop(Pearl Yamaha ,Kondapur) . Now with all things done I am ready to test it for a while. Though on rock hard braking rear tyre locks but I could feel the pulsating effect on my rear discs like the front one. The dealer (Mr Prabhakar 9248003766 http://www.probikers.in ) was real 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 pads adjusted, chain alignment and front disc pads checked at Yamaha workshop. The dealer had it installed on 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 discs perform 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 Caliper assembly both for front and rear brakes. The HECU gets its inputs from wheel speed sensors which work in combination with tonner wheel the arrangment is complex.The HECU / ABS activation is based on the algorithm in ECU, I doubt no one other 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 certain level of power output and not for additional electrical accesories . In case the your are able to do the mechanical conections and make ABS work but power supply may not be adequate to operate ABS all the time. The chances of failure are very high. Its not recommended to used after market ABS on ur bike and risk your life at high speeds on road. You have brakes which work,so just throttle. cruise to the top speed and enjoy ur ride.

Fitting ABS on rear brake is a pain due to cramped cluster or Chassis and exhaust. I had to do only after removing the tyre. You can give it a try . For front brake , the improvement was impressive but on rear it was not as impressive. Still any good is appreciable. Check my earlier comment. You ll find all the details. Thanks, Dhiraj Reply Hari October 26, 2010 at 2:00 pm Hi Chinmay and others, I have been contemplating on using this product. One important question, any product will have wear & tear and break loose. In usage of time say 1-2 years, if something in that metallic unit breaks down (during driving or it stops functioning), can i still use the old-brakes. Or rather will the old-method braking, still continue to work, if the system fails at any point of time Fails safe approach is critical. Is it not ? thanks Hari Reply Hari October 28, 2010 at 2:08 pm Disappointing, still not response, for the question. Feel quite an important one, what if it fails while driving, will normal brake continue to work (during driving) ? Reply

Praveen B.G December 12, 2010 at 12:51 am Hi i own a new CB UNICORN. i usually go 4 long drives thrice a week .i stay in coimbatore. i wish to ve ABS for my safety concern. i ve following queries 1.will ur ABS suit my bike efficiently ? 2.if yes so, how can i get it & how could i fix it 2 my bike ? 3.if any mishap occur will i be able to claim insur from both ABS provider & my honda dealer ??? Reply Hari December 12, 2010 at 11:46 pm Hi Praveen, Looks from the feedback of folks who have used it & video-demo, i am sure it works quite genuinely. I also had similar questions, which abs-people have answered and i have inlined in below for everyones benefit. 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 provide you 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 time while servicing the bike). 3. If the device fails (while driving) does it allow the normal brakes to work properly, or will the normal 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 Normalbraking SAFETY is Guaranteed (even on device failure, while the bike is running), then this is surely a good 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 go for 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, riding jacket, or atleast knee and wrist guard armours. They are equally good investment and you will find good advise in several websites. For even if you have the ABS unit, you could still fall due to several other reasons. So protecting your body smartly with these armours i have found it to be quite helpful. Wish you Safe Driving and Long life Reply
