anyone removed a servo?

[pheasant plucker]

Has anyone removed a servo from an evo bike leaving ABS only?
or removed servo and ABS together.

Thanks, PP.

Yep..............BMW have on the 1150GS Adv and 1200GS

You can buy it without ABS and Servo................saves you £795 on the purchase price

I'm picking my new Adv up today........... without Servo ABS - after owning 4 previous GS's with ABS

Why................simplicity

Would you sleep the night before picking up a new bike ?
Or maybe he has to take his wife to work at 6 ... like me.... yawn

Johnny I don't think that answears the question, I'm led to believe yes you can have non servo BUT that also means non ABS.

Removing the servo only is, I think not possible as the servo version uses a different ABS unit, (that is a combined unit), or am I talking bollox again.

Get your act together BMW I may buy a new bike if it were ABS and NON servo, but not otherwise.

Dont see how you can have ABS without some degree of servo since you need power to operate the ABS. It works on the basis that the wheels speeds are measured and when there is a difference the brakes are released to compensate. How can it do this withoput power assistance ie servo?

The earlier ABS equiped bikes had no servo so it is not necessary to drive the ABS system.

It works by pressure release - just like the Honda ST1100 system.

I'd be interested to know how.

If you're looking for a technical dissertation, I can't give you one, but in layman's terms:

The central 'brain' of the ABS unit monitors wheel rotation, by electrical/magnetic sensors mounted on the wheels (the ABS Ring & sensor). When it logs a disparity between wheel speeds, with the brakes on, it releases the pressure to the slow/stopped wheel. It can do this by electrically opening a pressure release valve. When the wheels' speeds match again, the pressure release valve is closed.

The ST1100 used a similar system for traction control - when there was a disparity between wheel speeds when the brakes were not on (ie wheelspin), it operated an ignition cutout until the speeds matched again.
