Rear Braking & Downshifting?
#31
Why can they make a cheaper bike shift correctly & not the more expensive ones?

I think you are putting your own spin on this. Every Harley I've ridden clunks into first. Occasionally they don't but it's typical. Many other bikes also clunk into gear. I don't think there is any "correct" about it; I think you would prefer that it not clunk but that doesn't mean your preference is correct.

The ABS braking system is transparent - it only takes effect when there is a possibility of locking the wheels. In that event the brake is cycled rapidly - pulsed; to prevent lock up. You'd feel it in the pedal. Locking the rear wheel and then coming off the brake can toss you on your kiester PDQ - ABS might prevent it.
Most people will lock the rear wheel (sans ABS) in an emergency IMO.
There is no connection between the tranny and ABS; the tranny is constant mesh - the drum turns - the shift forks move the dogs which lock the selected gear to the shafts.
I say your technique might be the problem.

I think what you are experiencing is when you down shift while applying your rear brake is when you release the clutch your rear tire locks up momentarily .That engages the ABS causing the brake to pulsate. I have felt this on my bike. I have since wired my ABS through my Aux. switch and only turn it on when I see fit, rain or wet roads.
