How much have you used your GS in the mud, Zoom? There is a reason why I turn my ABS off when I go off road.
At least on the 12 and it's linked brakes, the ABS does monitor and effect the rear. Not to the same degree as the front though. Last edited by Trip; 12-21-2011 at 10:50 AM.. |

I had no idea ABS was front only until this thread.
Is that all bikes, some bikes, or what?

Actually it's not on all bikes. ABS does effect rear wheel on a lot of bikes, but it effects the front much more than the rear. There are some that try and prevent rear lock from ever occuring. It varies a lot. As I said, my BMW does effect the rear wheel. You go slam on the rear in the mud and you definitely notice it having an effect. Which is why I and most of the 12GS riders turn them off in the dirt.
