General Discussion / Re: Can Removing the ABS System Damage the ECU?
« Last post by Bulldog9 on Today at 10:22:13 AM »Interesting discussion.....
my BLUF .0000002 cents? The Juice is not worth the squeeze.....
Weight savings? Come on.... Simpler? for the most part, the system is dead simple, bullet proof, and completely unobtrusive. Do you really want to run new brake lines?? Have to make them? all the work to remove the pump, wiring? sensors? etc? I'd leave it alone. If it gets wonky, then start DXing it.
I am not a huge fan of ABS on a bike, or wasn't until I had it on my Norge. The only time it came on is when I was testing to see if it actually worked, and how it felt when it did. Can't remember a time it came on otherwise. Same with the Stornello. But all my other bikes, the Griso, 1200 Sport, Convert, Breva 750, and beloved XS bikes were all without ABS, and I have never felt I needed it. At least for how I ride.
But you are a bit of a nutcase mate
...... So have at it! We will be watching from the side lines, especially the Carb conversion....
