I was just reading in the paper this morning about Prius ABS issues that have NHTSA piling it on Toyota. It seems people report that under braking over bumpy roads, the brakes feel like they let off completely
I've experienced this many times on my R12S and once it nearly put me into the back of a truck I was passing on Hwy 33 when I decided not to pass at the last moment and had to break quite hard, but not a panic-type situation (until the brakes let off). I have always assumed it's just a design "feature" of the ABS on our bikes, but does everybody experience this or is my ABS problematic? If this is the way it's supposed to work, I'm a little surprised more people don't complain about it. Maybe that's why BMW thought to fit a disable switch rather than the race-track reasoning? Tracks are always smoother than most CA roads, so I've never experienced it at the track.
