    Help! BMW question.

    I know a guy who has an F650GS.

    Apparently, you can turn the ABS off and on on this model.

    How you do it? That is the question..............

    garry Hs site says

    How do I de-activate the ABS.?

    by Art #884, Pelle, Andy#982



    Simply:

    *

    Turn Key on (Running or not)
    *

    Wait for lights to go out
    *

    Hold ABS button, center of bars, until red ABS light starts blinking.
    *

    Release = deactivated
    *

    Red light blinks until it is reactivated.
    *

    To reactivate, turn bike off then back on, reactivation takes place automatically.
    *

    Note that it can't be deactivated while moving. I have no sensible explanation to why but I tried it while moving the other day. I just had to know.
    *

    If you are having a hard time turning off your ABS, just rock the bike backwards or forwards a few inches (it wouldn't even take that much) and try the regular procedure again. (Seacuke #1214).

    Nice to see.

    Maybe the Goldwing has that as an option already

    The F650 Dakar is a nice bike

    The GS series are all great bikes. They go all sorts of places; mine even goes places without me!
    Wears a few scratches as a result too!
    Reasonably heavy for their style, but not too bad.
