Default Tempoary run a non ABS front wheel on ABS bike?

Hypothetical question here guys. In an emergency or temporary situation, how would a non ABS wheel work on ABS bike? I understand there would be no ABS brakes up front but the brake would still work correct? Would it be a smooth or a choppy stop?
Thanks

rotor placement is the same, not sure if you would use your ABS sensor for a spacer or the oe non-abs parts, but yes the brakes will work just fine. you will get an ABS wheel speed sensor code. Remember, with ABS, the engineering standard is for the vehicle (any vehicle) to return to foundation braking if the management system detects a fault, or trouble code.

Keep in mind that the abs bearing is 3mm thicker than a non abs bearing, so unless you have the correct spacer......
