Re: Can Removing the ABS System Damage the ECU?

…heres the part I don't understand.
The bike was powerless would barely do 30 kph at full throttle, I felt like I was going to get run over.
I suspect if the ABS is showing error codes the ECU plays it safe by dialing back the power.
Before I got a mile down the road I pulled over and bolted the sensor back restoring the good power as before…

Remember that ABS, MGCT, and the Speedo all work off those speed sensors (the speedo works off the rear). Pulling the speed sensor off its mount will disable the ABS, but the MGCT will continue to try to work. You have to manually turn it off (hold the button in for a few seconds) or else it will act a fool.
