I've seen this on a couple of sites and it doesn't seem to include the Blade so far. It looks like the CBR300 & 600RR are mentioned though.
It probably wouldn't matter honda would just tell vosa it's a characteristic of the bike and all will be rubber stamped as fit for use!
Calm down Kiwi, they can't fix the damn CABS as there is nothing wrong with it.........I bet you sat in the back row at school and never listened. Now take 100 lines 'Mr Honda says there is nothing wrong with the Blades C-ABS, its all in the minds of the demented owners'
Kent, You do know your now gony get a load of folk replying with the usual...........there is nothing wrong with my abs blade the brakes work perfect and then normally in the same sentence say but they don't wont to touch anything to do with the brakes just in case!
There is something wrong with the brakes I'm the second owner of a bike and it's happening with me as well.

Now take 100 lines 'Mr Honda says there is nothing wrong with the Blades C-ABS, its all in the minds of the demented owners' Shiny Probably mate, but as all ex Blade ABS owners know, there is a cure to the C-ABS issue and a simple one, dump the POS and buy a non ABS Blade, I have to say after doing that I have not had one occasion to think about my brakes, whereas it got to the stage that every time I approached a queue of cars I wondered what would happen when I pulled the lever.
Its only a surprise the first time the lever hits the bar and you don't slow down, after that it just gets annoying
Well I like it. Know how to get round it and would not swap it. I think the way it works is good so I can forgive its failing. May I ask, where was your lever adjustment set to? What did you do to stop it happening?
Couldn't tell you the span adjustment now, and there appeared to be no way to stop it happening, the dealer tried hard and failed, and to their credit they gave me a stunning cost to change to walk away from it, that was the only cure IMO.
So the dealer sold the bike to another customer knowing it had defective brakes after telling you they could not be repaired
Not defective working as per Mr honda's specification.............vosa even backs up mr honda's specification and after looking at the spec sheets and designs deemed it impossible for the brakes to totally fail and stop working. It's easier for honda to just ignore the people that have issues with the abs system and bully the supposedly free press into keeping quiet and not publicise that people have had problems including the writers of the articles! Vosa is a joke when it came to public safety and testing of the abs system but this is covering the same old ground that has been covered again and again by the same people on here which others just ignore and disregard! The only way to solve the abs problem once and for all has also been posted again and again which is to remove the whole system but then why would you want to solve your brakes issue as you say you love surprises!
Murder when the world is against you. I have one of the bikes but once it happened once it never happened again and compaired with what I went through with KTM super duke front brakes I don't see the problem. The KTM just locked end of story at least the Hondas worked. Just changed my riding style so I've always got a good brake. Machines fail and always will and all manufacturers will try to deny it, you would as well, as all the guys who sold the bike on not giving a toss about anyone else that may come a cropper. Don't want to loose the silver lining in the pocket. Repaired my crashed KTM and sold it to a mate, at least he was await of the problem and took it upon himself to chance it. My concern expressed was clear. Had my battles with Brembo,KTM and had our story in MCN, we all crashed our bikes with full lock ups at speed. The only thing that came out of that was a new set of washing instructions.
