I personally think the abs is getting a little better after a while. I ride 15 years but this is my first abs bike. I know how to brake hard without abs and without locking the wheels and i ride quit fast everyday in the center of the biggest city in Greece with major traffic.
At first the front abs was more intrusive, that it is now after 3500Km. I don't think its me getting to know the bike better; but i could be wrong. What people with more experience in abs think?
When i bought the bike, the mechanic told me to try to activate abs now and then - and not forget to replace the brake fluids at 2 years because that could eventually destroy the abs system -
Last week i had to try quite actively to lock the front wheel before the abs activated. At first it was very easy to activate it and for no actual reason in my opinion. I was very worried at first about the activation of abs without the actual danger of locking the front wheel.
The rear abs is still more intrusive but that would be more from me. Mostly because i only use the rear break for hard breaking; but only the front break along with downshifting and a little engine breaking in normal driving - traffic lights for example - and the rear break is quit stronger that i have been used to.
