higdonion

spent the last 4.5hrs installing the CruiseControl... would have been quicker if I didnt have to pull the ECU connector apart to get the pin retainer to lock ?... and a big shout out to @higdonion for making the upper engine cage with just enough room to slide the inner fairing pieces out!!!
 
quick trip to the gas station to test it out was fun...set it at 40mph in 3rd gear snd it held it while I did the YMCA down main street ?

 
 
 

I came down a tarmaced back country road (on a KTM 990 Adventure ABS, not had the Tracer kick in yet) in the village where I live, not THAT steep but rather prone to have gravel and dirt wash to the bottom after rain. 
The road has a T junction at the bottom, so have to give way (yield) at the end.
 
The speed limit is 30mph (its within the village) - I was doing maybe 20. Light front brake, but on the gravel bit ABS kicks in, I stop in the middle of the main road beyond the stop line. It was so slow and surreal, the bike was choosing to not let me stop, and there was FA I could do about it.
 
I have lived here for 23 years, so know every little bump on that road. Had there been no ABS I could do what I always have done in that circumstance, a momentary intentional lock of the wheel would have cut through the shallow debris, caught the tarmac and the whole thing would have been a non-event.
 
THAT is why it is (potentially) dangerous. You don't have full control.
 
 
 
(Its why dirt riders will switch ABS off, to give full control - roads aren't always clean and sparkly... in fact today I went to the station down some back road slime mud covered on tarmac road, thinking "oh shet this thing has ABS" - I'm not a fan)

My first experience with anti-lock brakes was very similar, except I was in a pick up truck and the dirt road I was on ended on a highway with lots of traffic.   I agree, in unexpected slippery conditions such as washboard roads, ABS can be dangerous.  That's why dirt bikers do not like them.

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 hate abs, I think it's dangerous, and degrading to motorcyclists as a whole lol.

I understand wanting to have a bike in its pure form without having as many of the electronics.. but how does ABS make a bike dangerous?
