ABS Question
from a stop... Accelerate to 60MPH and then jam on the brakes... if your tires lock up and skid you dont have ABS... ok.. ok... look on right bottom of front tire where the forks meet the tire.. on the inside right side you should see a BLACK O ring which is the ABS checks if front tire locks up... I can get more technical if u like.... if you see it which there isnt one on the left of the front wheel, then you have ABS.. .Another quick dummy proof way is -- when you start your bike - if the ABS light is flashing and then goes off when you just begin to move - then u should have ABS.. if you dont have any ABS light flashing on the Speedometer gauge , then youo Dont have ABS...

On the left side of the front tire the is a black cap covering the bearing hub if you will. There is also a cable going to the black cap. That cap is the speed sensor for the ABS.
Bikes without ABS will not have the black speed sensor or cable.

Stand on the right side of the bike and look at the neck of the frame, where the fork tube goes through the frame and meets the handlebars.
If you see two brake lines, you have ABS. If there's only one, you have regular brakes.
If you don't see any, proceed VERY slolwy to your nearest dealer. :-)

The bearings on the left front and the right rear have a tannish color on them when looking at them as they are installed in the wheel
