ABS light question
« on: July 28, 2026, 01:42:21 PM »
Hello everyone.   New to Moto Guzzi but also new to bikes with ABS.  I recently bought a 2016 V7 II Racer.  When stopped with engine on, the 2 yellow lights on the dash blink.   The ABS and the Triangle lights.   Is this supposed to be like this,  or is there an issue somewhere?   The lights go out once you start moving.  Like I said,  first Guzzi and first bike with ABS, so this might be a dumb question.   Thanks for your time.

If they’re only flashing at stop when you first turn the bike on, then yep, normal. From Page 51 of the V7 II Owners Manual:

Quote
WHEN TURNING THE KEY ON, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON AND FLASHES UNTIL REACHING 5 km/h; AT THIS POINT IT TURNS OFF.

Link to download the V7 II Owners Manual from Cadre Cycle’s website:

P.S.—that caution triangle is your Traction Control (The V7 II was the first small block to get ABS, traction control, and a 6-speed gearbox)
