hamster Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 With ABS being available finally in the states, does anyone know if it is possible to add the ABS system to an earlier year model? I guess you can, but it'll be costly - changing brake rotors, adding the ABS unit and its cables, etc.... it can go easy to $800 as you have to count in the labour... Safe riding!

Premium Member i28 Posted October 14, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted October 14, 2016 Would you also have to change out the ECU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ralph Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Very likely be cheaper in the long run just to px the bike for a ABS one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbatrossCafe Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 So I have to replace my front end anyway after an accident. Anyone have anymore info on this? Is it even worth it or possible?

The ABS hydraulic unit is almost $500, and that does not include wiring, sensors and maybe an ECU (I suspect you need a new one but I am not certain about that). I do not think it is worth the cost or time, and if you mess it up you may end up with malfunctioning brakes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is too much I would have to swap out to make it worth it (even with my wrecked front end). I just wanted to own a motorcycle from 0 to 100k miles. Sadly if I want ABS I'll have to start over Edited June 14, 2019 by AlbatrossCafe 1 Dual headlights or deathhttp://fz07.org/thread/5384/albatrosscafes-galleryhttp://fz07.org/thread/5174/dual-headlight-upgrade-completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrulescu Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Actually, the ABS pump alone is about 1600 Eur. I've changed mine, under warranty, about 2 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
