[QUOTE="wmadoty, post: 950580, member: 27157"] I frequently activate my rear ABS. This seems to be pretty common and does not mean there is anything wrong with the brakes. I down-shift a lot while breaking, and when downshifting I will frequently feel the rear ABS engage. This happens more often in the wet or with poor road surfaces, but it can happen on great road surfaces while breaking normally. The ABS application only lasts for a very short time. Other bikes I have owned would actually lock up the rear wheel for a very short time while down shifting and breaking. I suspect this is pretty normal. I have noticed on my bike that it takes a massive effort to engage the front ABS. I did not think it worked because even under very hard breaking I never felt it kick in. I tested it once. It took many attempts to apply the front breaks hard enough to engage the ABS. Unreal how well mannered the bike is when the front ABS is engaged. [/QUOTE]
