hit the brakes pretty hard and you will hear it engaging if you have them, make sure you are in a parking lot or something in case you dont have them and skid a little.'
I dont know ootherwise, thats how I discovered I had them.

When you first start your bike before any forward movement, there will be an abs light blinking on your tach (or Speedo, can't recall which)

If there is a thin black cable wire tied with the front left brake line to the caliper you have ABS

There should be an extra wire running down to the ABS sensor on the left side of the front wheel if you have it.

I forgot about the flashing ABS light in the tach on my bike, probably the speedo on yours I would guess.

It has a ring with a bunch of notches in it on the front wheel next to the disc brake. The wheel speed sensor is attached to it. http://s1.aecdn.com/images/news/gall...-gallery_5.jpg
