Same if you apply the rear brakes I believe it also applies pressure to one front caliper. I have to see the hydraulic schematic for it before I would say it's good or bad, and how the ABS module functions.
The brake linking you are talking about, is that only for the Touring models or does it apply to any model that has ABS?

First time I got breaks on and was like a sponge /needed bleading .when I grab a hand full of front brake that is hard to lock up. now it's like death is near. Who has locked up front brake. The front will dive way before locking up. Plenty of time to stop anti locks $u(k

ABS sucks. His front break is too touchy. Before they weren't and needed to be bled.

I was 1 of those "old guys" After almost going down in a a crowd of other bikes and going sideways, I swore I would never have a MC without it. I believe in them.
