I was never a ABS fan, but I have got to tell you this Big XT stops just fine and way better than I thought it would.
I don't think I could ever change from using both brakes at the same time and don't believe I want to. I could just see me hopping back on my KLR and running up someones tail pipe because I only used the front brake in a quick stop.
Old dog new tricks........I don't think so but I am a believer of ABS now. Good job Yamaha!
The TCS is on par with the brakes. When I picked mine up from the dealer to go home we had a nice shower and the roads were wet. A good time to test the traction control. I dumped the clutch in TC1 and the thing just launched, twisted the right hand hard in 2nd and hooked up again. I could not have launched the FJR as fast as the XTZ in the same conditions.
This is good stuff for sure. 8)
