Pretty cool modification for the more advanced riders. So far I have been able to get my rear to slide just enough to be comfortable with the ABS on. There is no denying being able to shorten the stopping distance with the abs off in the dirt.This is a great addition to my bike. Off road the abs is downright dangerous. Thanks for posting this. It works and works well.
This. The abs works great on a gravel road. It’s the loose, steep, sections that the abs lets the tire slip. Downright scary.If you are on a loose hill. You don't need the tire to slip ANY. Especially on a 600 lbder on a steep downhill.
Good to know thanks, I'm gonna do this to my bike I'll be sure to disco the battery first.This wire is hot even with the key off, keep that in mind.
I don't know that it's important, if it's disabled you're gonna know it. There's a bright orange light when ABS is disabled, unless you don't ever look at your gauges gonna be hard to miss.This is an important detail as it allows a horn type normally closed switch to be used; though adding a relay may be easier than finding a normally closed push button switch. The push button would insure you never forget to turn on the rear abs next time you start the bike. Many new bikes are setup this way which some prefer and others not so much.
Yes, I agree. You were reading my mind. I was planning on making either a latch-open circuit using a momentary contact switch plus a relay, or just use a NC pushbutton, so that I wouldn't forget to reset a switch. Was going to add a red LED to the dash to give me a visual that ABS was disabled.This is an important detail as it allows a horn type normally closed switch to be used; though adding a relay may be easier than finding a normally closed push button switch.

I knew that there is a light to let me know that the ABS isn't working that turns on for various different reasons. But don't know if I want to use that light also as the only indication that ABS is purposely disabled. Having the extra LED will let me know if the 30 Amp fuse is blown or if there is power to the ABS motor or not.I don't know that it's important, if it's disabled you're gonna know it.

I think you're vastly over complicating this, of course absolutely you should do whatever gives you a warm fuzzy and in no way am I trying to tell you how to customize your bike but here's my two cents.Yes, I agree.

If you do a little surgery of the “neurosurgery” type, on the dashboard, you can use the light bulb of the TCS OFF, to activate the relay, jump abs fuse and turn ABS OFF. In general I think that those who need an abs off, also need the tcs off, but you have the advantage that the tcs off, resets to 1 (bulb ligth off) when you turn the key.Yes, I agree.

Or just run a sufficient gauge wire and it's fine.WARNING!!
I just realized that this wire from the ABS fuse is directly connected to the battery, so always HOT!
Not sure how comfortable I feel having a hot lead with a 30A fuse running all the way up to the dash. Might be better to place the switch closer down as others save suggested.
