I hear you Graham, you could refer to the old style of braking as "Flintstoning It".

I read another post in another thread about that happening to someone, he went for the brake and it wasn't there, and that person promptly removed the ABS. He also PM'd me and told me how he did it.

I'm quite sure if the same thing happened to some of the naysayers here, they'd quickly change their tone.

I don't really care for the linked brakes anyhow. I was fooling around tonight while riding and ws just using the brake pedal. Anyhow, I'm sure there is an ABS delete or some mods to kill the ABS system. My 09 doesn't have ABS, and I have skidded the front tire, only to release, regrip, and reapply.

Anyhow, goofy recall, and odd system...
