ABS in different modes.

[preynol1]

I was playing around with emergency stops this weekend with some mates. In rain and sport using the front lever only the bike pitched forward but back wheel stayed planted, ABS cut in but the stopping distance was almost twice the jap stuff!
In race the same but the back lifted by afoot I'm told and I released the front.

I've two questions how do you know if it's the ACS or ABS controlling braking ?

And in RACE will it allow rear lift but stop you flipping ?

You'll see that RACE allows some rear wheel lift.
Also interesting that you were experiencing much longer braking distances than the Jap bikes?? I've found the Beemer's brakes to be exceptional and a noticeable improvement on my '14 blade, K9 GSXR etc. Which Jap bikes were your mates riding?

As you can see in the picture in sport mode the front end was loaded and tyre squashed, but I think the ASC over rode the ABS to stop wheel lift

In race mode the rear lifted and I bottled it not knowing if the ASC would take over. A foot feels vertical on a new bike!

My mates were on a mixture of road bikes and stopped a good bike length to me in rain / sport. I am sure the stoppie control took over. I need to try again in race and see if I can reach the point where the bike takes over.
