The "Link" is in the description

Hi All,

Whilst cleaning the wheels on my 2015 GS the other day I was spinning the back wheel and applied the front brake.. Nothing happened !
The wheel kept spinning.
I thought these bikes are supposed to have linked brakes??

I am not over worried about the way it is because my pads seem to be lasting very well (compared to some of the reports I have read on here)..

So are the brakes "Linked" or not ?

Thanks in advance.

Yes they are linked.
The electronics that control the ABS/breaking bias will not operate if the ignition is not on.

You need to be going over a certain speed also. But as stated, no ignition on no engine power no ecu to make magic happen

No bitchy remarks from me.
