Abs reprogramming
peoplel ike you drive me nuts. why ask if you already think you know?
the abs system will be fine, there is no reprogramming, and your parts guy saved you money...the dealership around my area will tell customers that they have to come in.
all you do is pull the maxi and the abs system will reset to normal.

Thanks for the help. You are right about the stability control being the difference thanks. Just trying to understand how it works if its a safe mod as ill be doing the work myself. I like know whats going on before just doing it. Thinking about doing a 19"fat spoke rim instead of a 21". I do not want to lower the front.

? though.When you pull that fuse doesnt it wipe out all the memory on certain tune perimeters as well?I guess it also would reset the tuners that are autotutne to wouldn't it?

I have no problems since switching to a 21".
I have to think the point to consider is that on a Harley the brakes are independent of each other, but not on a car which has a single brake pedal.

thats a good question, and not to my knowledge. however, I have run cobra, fuelpak, and now a PC5, and never had an issue. the PC5 has the tune downloaded into it, so pulling it completely off the bike and hooking it to my computer is fine. however, i cant be sure for the other tuners that i havent used.

I just watched the video that comes with the bikes that have ABS, and it says that it gets the single from matched bearings, So the wheel size should not have any effect, according to the cd that comes with the bike.

Thats why it does not matter if you change the wheel sizes because in watches each wheel independently. Nice I did not know that. Thanks again. Im shore im not the first to ask this question and will not be the last. Thats probably a why the abs light is on everytime you start the bike because it must recalibrate everytime you ride it. Thats pretty smart if you think about it.

I am use to how a car abs system works and a car abs is very sensitive to tire ratio. One bit of lockup or speed change and it releases that wheel. Its like a tenth of a revaluation. I just assumed the bike abs is the same. Maybe I am wrong or maybe people dont really know how it works. Abs sensor is a two wire sensor that puts out a AC generated wave form that increases in size (on a scope) with speed then the abs module converts it to a pid of mph and compares to other wheels. So if the speed of one wheel one wheel deceases or stops the module releases the wheel. Unless the Harley abs perameter is more like 9/10ths of a revaluation before relases then that why there would be no issue with regular riding. I just rather be safe than sorry especially with my old lady on the back.
They are either reed switches, or proximity. Both as I am sure you know work on magnetism, just depends on where the metal versus magnet resides.
The only time they need to monitor these is when the brakes are applied and again I would bet, they are time referenced versus diameter of tire. It is indeed not rocket science especially if you are a seasoned tech.
