    Sorry if this has already been discussed on other threads. I picked up my 2012 blade today and I've heard that there is an ABS model and a non ABS model. How do I know if mine has ABS? Cant see anything in the manual about it.

    Tail unit is deeper underneath. Rings on wheels for the sensors. Will try and find a pic.

    You should have an abs light up on the dash on start up. It goes off as you move off.

    Cheers. Mine is non ABS then which I’m thinking from looking at that picture of all that extra bulk underneath is maybe not a bad thing.

    This thread reminds me of how 'innocent' we can be when receiving a new bike.

    When I purchased my RRB (2011) last November, I believed that all 08 onwards had ABS. It wasn't until I'd had the bike for a couple of weeks that I twigged that the ABS light was not coming on. Only after reading the Owner's Manual did I learn that there were both ABS and non-ABS models. I was spewing at first, thinking I'd been ripped off. Different train of thought after reading all the ABS problem threads on here though!:) So I was also a 'lucky bastard'!

    from all the ABS issues all over the forum should I say:

    If the brakes work, then it is non ASB.
    If the brakes don't work, then it is ABS:cool:
