jo1000 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Holy crap did I test it yesterday. I was on the highway going about 60 in the left lane. The other lanes slowed to about 35-40 and this guy pulled right in front of me just so he can be in the faster lane. I don't even think he looked , I grabbed a handful of the front brake . I didn't even have time to hit the rear brake. The bike just bucked like pogo stick banging but it worked !! I know if I was on my Aprilia I would have locked the front wheel for sure. I was shaken but I couldn't help to think what a machine this .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonesie Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Im not sure if i like the sound of the bike turnig into a pogo stick if i trigger the abs, nice that it allowed you to avoid the moron though. All i get on my bike when the abs cuts in is smooth braking and a trembling sensation in the lever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonbobo Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Perhaps the forks are too soft and caused the pogo effect. I tried doing some hard braking to get a feel for the ABS and didn't notice that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
