ABS removed.....the light !

i guess that would work, you may get the warning light on the display

 

i have a box full of abs spares if you need any

 

Now thats funny lol. Which brand brake lines do you have? Also do you have the race setup or the overthe fender like stock?

 

Do you have a link where to get these?

 

I bought a set of three lines from HEL, two for the front and one for the rear. You get a double length banjo in the kit for adapting the two lines down to the calipers. Give it a good bleed and you will be good to go.

 

follow my instructions in earlier thread to extinguish the light, it stays on for 2 seconds while ecu calibrates the different systems

 

How long has it been abs free and any problems encountered since then?

 

i ran it in october but not since then. there is nothing left to fail, all the stuff that fails i have in a box in the back of the garage. the abs system of the bikes is separate to the ecu. there is no problem with power limitations or limp mode etc as the ecu has no idea it is an abs bike. the only link is the loom that powers the abs system, if you remove it you need to cut a single wire to power the starter solenoid

 

i have just ordered the hel brake lines and will be attempting the complete removal. Any suggestions where to start from i mean not the obvious fluid fairings etc ?

 

i started at the back and removed all of the system from under the seat, its easier if you split the rear subframe to extract all of the actuators , pumps and piping, it is very simple to do but can be quite time consuming. I found the hardest part to be the part on the rh side of the bike behind the exhaust manifold, i found the bolts to be seized on, took a while to remove it, removed the headers which created their own problems.

if you remove the abs loom under the seat you will need to very slightly modify the loom by cutting a couple of wires from memory

lots of help on here and some useful posts, take your time and it will be fine.

if you want to sell it then you can openly advertise that the nasty abs has gone, nobody wants to buy an abs honda !

 

thanks mate i will wait for the brake lines to arrive first. Also do you have a link on the brass nuts in your previous post?

 

are you in the uk?

 

No in Cyprus a bit far from the UK.

 

Bit warmer than Kettering then over the winter whilst you’re mauling with your blade in the garage

 

Actually is getting colder now but in general weather is fantastic. You are welcome to visit any time.

 

Can’t imagine it’ll actually be cold but I’ll keep that invite in mind

 

Gee, that sounds like a massive undertaking if you're having to remove headers etc. That job will truly call for care and patience.

 

dont need to remove them, its only an actuator and could stay in place, i totally went for it but then it is a track bike

 

You're in Kettering? Only 6 miles down the road from me.

 

Yes, for my sins, welcome to KTown ! Where are you ?
