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

    How you do it? That is the question..............
    Go and ask someone who works in a motorbike shop. Anyway thought you'd have traded it for a DRZ400 by now, you slipping, mate?

    like people in honda shops constantly telling me I am wrong, DICKS, an NC30 is a vfr NOT a CBR, and a 10 is hotter than a 9 in NGK world RETARDS, and my brakes have 8 pistons all up!! Where do they get some of these people WT? I am sure even you wouldn't try and tell me my NC30 was something it would never be!

    Same place they got me mate. I'll try and tell you that a "9" is hotter than a "10" too sorry mate. That's how NGKs are.

    I'd never tell ANY Honda rider their bike was something it wasn't though

    this might be a real dumbass question, but why would you want to disable the ABS? Unless it's out of sync, damage or something like that?

    Tried riding on gravel with it? The fucken back brake lever is constantly kicking you in the foot. It sucks, plain and simple.

    Mine was 9/10 on the seal, 6/10 on gravel and plain awful in any off road situation. Maybe if they got the FI sorted, put some decent brakes on it and took 20 kilos off it...the irony is that the GS1150 is a far better off road mount.
