One easy way to tell is there is an extra wire going to each wheel, and above the left front brake caliper there will be a little black clip to hold the wire, it will say ABS on the clip. &nbsp\\;

Also, if you can't find the clip pull off the right side cover, the ABS controller fills almost all the space under that cover.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; If you have lots of free space there you probably don't have it.

If you have it, a light designating ABS comes on when you turn the ignition on.

And the real simple way...... follow your front brake hose from the master cylinder, if it goes straight to the caliper, you ain't got no ABS man

Look at the neck. Two lines running front to back then you got ABS. Seems like the 900 out of your pocket would have told you already
