Hey folks,
Wanting your thoughts on the ABS and whether you think it is overly intrusive?
I'm just getting to know my Tracer as I have only had it for 2 weeks (+\- 600miles). I went on a 'spirited' ride the other evening and coming up to a right angle corner I braked progressively but the ABS kicked in and scared the sh*t out of me. I'm more used to riding bikes without ABS so I know to never grab a handful. I felt that because the ABS kicked in so early it meant my braking distance was longer. It resulted in me tipping the bike into the corner at a slightly higher speed than I normally would. It all worked out fine as the Tracer loves corners but it was a rather clenching moment. Anyone had similar experiences?
Cheers,
Andrew
