Turn off ABS

[Deano]

Anyone know how I can turn off the ABS more permanently? Is there a fuse I could pull or something??

I want to use the ABS on the street, however when off road, its a real PITA having to hold down the ABS button every time I switch the bike on and off.

Is it really that much of a PITA, mate? I'm afraid I don't know, 'cos I didn't bother with all the ABS gubbins, but it doesn't sound like much hassle to me.

yeah it is, the number of times I turn the bike on or off, its a real PITA!

Unless your stopping for a long time (pie eating etc ) then why not just use the kill switch to stop the engine. Don't think the ABS resets unless you turn it off with the key.

You are correct, I just dont want to leave the ignition on with the headlight on when the engine is not running. I gues my alternative is to fit a kill sqitch to the headlights.

You could try shorting the 2 wires connected to the ABS switch or place a bit or gaffa tape over the switch to stop it popping up ?

Don't hold the button down when you turn the bike off. That will cut the PITA incidents down by 50%.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
