[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1392015, member: 27852"] JAB - I tried to induce the fault with the rear brake only method (and played around with all sorts of combos) the other day. No dice. Nothing. ABS light on at start up, start rolling and about 3-5-ish mph, it goes out and stays out. Also, some time ago I rolled over a paved levee at about 60 mph to discover a COW in the middle of the road 200-ish feet from the top of the levee. I grabbed and stomped both brakes to full capacity. I already knew this, but for such a heavy bike, the FJR stops when you need it. I noted that the ABS was working as I felt the pulsing in my foot for sure. Can't recall feeling the pulsing in my right hand though. While it didn't lock up, the rear tire was swinging an inch or two each way as I slowed. I shut it down way before the cow (maybe 25-30 feet to spare). Of course the cow could care less. After I slowed, she just started walking across the road right in front of me toward the fence separating the field where her sisters and aunts and others were eating. No ABS light then either.
