[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1445801, member: 19880"] Edit: mcatrophy was replying while I was composing... The point of engaging while riding is to make sure that the brakes actually are working as intended. If the ABS doesn't activate it means one of three things: 1) There is insufficient braking power in the rear brake circuit to lock the wheel and activate ABS. 2) There is something wrong with the ABS. 3) The rider was too timid to apply the brake hard enough and at sufficient speed to activate ABS. :p The ABS test jumper procedure is suitable to make sure that the ABS is mechanically and electrically functional. Especially useful when you bleed brakes to get old fluid moved through the system. It doesn't tell whether there is sufficient braking action and does not test the simple mechanical braking system. FWIW, I used the ABS jumper for the first time after a dozen years and almost 300,000 miles of FJR ownership when I refreshed hydraulic fluid last week. I usually just go out and "exercise" the ABS with a few hard stops on a sandy parking lot. Even if you do use the jumper for bleeding, it is a good idea to practice with the ABS every now and then. Helps to know what to expect in an emergency braking situation. [/QUOTE]
