What owners report
ABS SYSTEM FAILED AT 26K, UPON RESEARCH,FOUND THIS TO BE VERY COMMON TO THIS YEAR/MODEL, AND ,OF COURSE, VERY DANGEROUS ON A MOTORCYCLE.A REPLACEMENT ABS UNIT COST IS MORE THAT THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE!, AS A RETIRED FIREFIGHTER, I CAN'T AFFORD THIS RIDICULOUS EXPENSE,ANS AS A RESULT,HAVE REMOVED THE SYSTEM, RESULTING IN NO POWER BRAKES,NO ABS, AND NO SPEEDOMETER.
I-ABS PUMP MODULE FAILURE ON VERY LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE, MAINTAINED PER MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS. ABS PUMP FAILURE CAUSES "RESIDUAL BRAKING" DEFAULT, WHICH IS ABOUT 20% OF NORMAL BRAKE PERFORMANCE AND SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN NEEDED TO REASONABLY STOP AND CONTROL THIS VERY HEAVY MOTORCYCLE. ADVANCE WARNING OF ABS PUMP FAILURE IS NOT ASSURED, SO THIS MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR LIFE THREATENING CONDITIONS.
