    Disable ABS

    in FJ-09 Tech Tips/How to's

    Posted

    I was surprised the two times ABS mode kicked in, it was on dry pavement at slower speeds and I really did not consider the tire was on the edge of loosing traction. Based on my very limited experience with FJ 09 ABS, it kicked in too soon and actually increased braking distance. More testing will continue. I like to test ABS on wet paved roads for consistency sake. Problem is, it doesn't rain much where I live.  
    Question, why not just remove the rear wheel sensor and re-position it so it cannot pick up the signal from the rotor? Is there a connector so the sensor lead can be disconnected from the wiring harness?
     
    Next question, how do you clear problem codes from ECU, just in case an error code is generated? So far, only one guy has said pulling the fuses did not kick off error codes.

     
     
    I think we can all agree some people like ABS and some people don't. Sorta like politics at this point. So what's the best way to go abouto disabling it? I would think if you removed the wheel sensor it may disable TCS too, which I'd suspect plays more of a role in the ecu. I'd like to try the wired switch method somehow.

    I removed the 2 abs fuses under the seat and problem solved! I hate abs, I think it's dangerous, and degrading to motorcyclists as a whole lol.
     
     
    How long have you been riding with the fuses removed? I'd like to wire in a switch like stated above, but I just don't want it upsetting or damaging the bike(throwing a check engine code or something similar to a car where the computer starts limiting power etc). Thanks

    I don't mind the rider aids most of the time on a street bike, but i think they should've offered a switch to disable it similar to the TCS. Eventho the TCS switch is a pain in the ass when you have to come to a complete stop to disable it. I enjoy doing a little wheelie, stoppie or backing it into a corner everynow and then. ABS offroad sucks.

     The only draw back to me is it's huge and I'm not thrilled on how it looks but, I think the way the bike is designed this is the trade-off I'll have to make.    
    Does your bike have side cases? I think the screen looks funny on a bike without them for some reaso. I guess the cases make it feel more touring ish..lol
