    Recently rebuilt an 06 ABS VFR800, my question for any other ABS owners is, can you feel any pulsation or feedback from the ABS system below speeds of 25 mph or under normal riding conditions? Feels like my ABS pulsates slowly.


    Thank you.

    I have an 07 ABS with approx 9K miles. I have never, under any circumstance, noticed any pulsing from the ABS system. It is virually invisible at all times.:thumbsup:

    I used mine at around 20mph in wet grass just to see if it worked(not my smartest idea) It did work but I also noticed a pulseing when it activated. however it was nothing to scare me or anything. work of warning though it does turn off at 6 mph. so about the time to are going to stop the ABS will turn off and the bike will slide to a stop

    Shouldnt feel anything from the ABS system til it kicks in. If you have ABS and used it in your car, you should get the idea of what it feels like. ABS doesnt do anything until its needed. If you feel a vibration when you stop, I'd look at the rotors/pads and possibly bearings and bushings.

    I would say that if you did it on wet grass that pulse would be normal.
