Question to the owner of the SC59 ABS

Hi there,

I have two questions to the owner of the SC59 ABS.

Are there owners of the SC59 in the British Fireblade Forum where the front ABS control unit caused problems and had to be replaced?
If so, how many are there?

Thanks a lot

That seems to be all over a can of worms. In the German Fireblade Forum its the same. There are three users who had to change the front ABS control unit. Big discussion...obviously a touchy subject.
Personally, I favor the ABS system. And now I want to know if there really is a BIG problem with the Honda ABS. If so, I would take a second-hand motorcycle insurance (Honda Quality Ride insurance).

 

Being an ABS owner myself well aware of its flaws

read here to gauge the issue:

F**k...that sounds not good. ABS is one of the reasons why I bought the SC59.

 

Don't get too worried about it Ramsay, it only becomes an issue when the bike fails to stop.

 

I had my rear replaced... Under warranty luckily... I believe the parts alone were more than a grand... Plus the 3 or so full system bleeds...
