Ive updated the modes too. Maxed DTC/ABS on Urban, increased Sport DTC to 5, ABS full. I didnt touch the power setup. Like you Urban is my rain/wet mode
ABS 1 works on the FRONT onlyNot sure if you are aware but max abs works on both wheels whereas the lower levels work on the rear only.
Lift up-prevention keeps the rear tire from lifting off the ground?ABS 1 works on the FRONT only
ABS 2 works on both wheels with medium lift up-prevention
ABS 3 works on both wheel with max. lift up-prevention
I think that only professional riders can get a shorter brake distance with ABS switched off. 'Normal' people should use ABS 1 to get the shortest brake distance. But that's my opinion ...
Yep I am aware of it. It's just the safety aspect for me.Be conscious that maximum ABS is not maximum braking power. You'll still need to slow down earlier, in fact you may need to slow down even earlier because ABS reduces braking efficiency and increases distance. It does help prevent losing the front end though.. and that alone is a big plus. Not sure if you are aware but max abs works on both wheels whereas the lower levels work on the rear only.
The manual has clear instructions on it. Id recommend reading it there.How did you do this? Can you please explain?
Yes, you can change the power modes.Do I understand this correctly - apart from changing the modes you can also change the power from high to low in each mode as well? Is that for all the modes? I've read the manual, but I don't have the bike yet, so I can't start pushing buttons to figure it out!
But I'm not sure why you would. Though I'm sure some one will be along soon with a good reason.......Yes, you can change the power modes.
That is a **** good reason.....:laugh:I need to look into it
I'd be interested in full power in urban mode
With traction and ABS on highest settings .
I'd use that as wet mode
I have no need for less power in wet mode
That's what my right wrist is for >
But you could argue I don't need traction either :wink2:
I don't commute so don't need urban
That's a fair bit of misinformation right there, packed into one short post. ABS does not reduce braking efficiency and increase distance. A highly skilled rider, under ideal traction conditions, can stop about as shortly without ABS as with it. All other situations, ABS wins.Be conscious that maximum ABS is not maximum braking power.

I only said nmad,That is a **** good reason.....:laugh:
LOL you got dinged for non-dictionary word :grin2:I only said nmad,
Ok, thanks, I am sure its there. However, can someone write the steps for benefit of the community? Thanks!The manual has clear instructions on it. Id recommend reading it there.
I was biting my tongue on that, and the other post that intimated that you should just pull a handful of lever and let ABS do all the work for you. I couldn't come up with a way of saying it without calling the author a nincompoop, thank you for doing it here.That's a fair bit of misinformation right there, packed into one short post.
