Do you know where the ABS sensor is on your bike?

[county]

It is not enough to say yes...if you vote yes you must post a description of the location on your bike or your vote will not be counted.

Options 2-5 require no explanation.

[MadOzodi]

I voted YES even though I don't have ABS.

[scottzilla]

This poll has too many rules.  I'm not participating.

So you're going to re-program the forum vote code?  Could you fix the link embedding while you're at it?

I know where mine are on all the ABS bikes I've owned.  But I didn't know before I bought them, which is where I suspect you're going with this.  They have to be accounted for when doing wheel removals.

Stopping, not going....

[bomber]

Mine is located right by the mail box -- won't allow any ABS to be written about at all.

[ZED]

What a silly question.  Of course I know.  It's obvious.  It's that thing at the top of the connection between the seat and the brake lever.

On the Ducati however, I think it has a couple of notched disk things at the wheels too.  

[Frankienuckles]

It is at the dealership, on the front wheel, inside of the brake disk on the bike that I'd like to buy if I could afford it.

[Mac]

Aren't the plastics made of ABS?

[nater]

I haven't got one.

[maddjack]

yeah , on my two its next to the muffler bearing support bracket  

[kevin_stevens]

Where is it on a Harley?

It is probably that chrome thing with the silver concho and leather fringe hanging off of it...

I was actually asking that to give H-D props.  They carefully designed their sensor system to be as unobtrusive as possible.

I use mental ABS... I tax my brain and not my bike...

[sammyseaman]

There's a sensor on my bike for my abs? Mine must not be working because I haven't been able to do any ab work (crunches, planks, etc...) and my I haven't noticed any lights or buzzers going off. It's true  

[Windblown]

On my current rides it's an overly complex system of inputs that include both sound and feel. It's also subject to failure from time to time depending on how taxed the CPU is at the moment.

Strongly believe you don't know what an ABS sensor is or how it works.

OK.  

Wanna have a quiz on ABS function? Look at the bikes in my profile and maybe it will make more sense?

FWIW,  I'm a proponent of well sorted ABS systems on motorcycles and I've owned two motorcycles equipped with ABS (FJR1300 & Sprint ST). I don't happen to own an ABS equipped bike at the moment, hence my having to rely on my brain (the CPU) to interpret the signals coming into it.

So what "sound and feel" output have you ever gotten from an ABS sensor?

KeS

[Gypsyangel]

Yes....On the right side right below the oil filter. Thanks for that BMW, now I gotta cut coke cans in half to guide the oil every time I do an oil change or buy your $68 scoop that does the same thing.

Ok, again. I currently have no ABS bikes.  Hence my "ABS" sensors are human (sound and feel) and CPU is my brain.  I really didn't mean to make it confusing. I thought it would be easy to see in my first post that I was speaking of the human nervous system and human senses. I listed sound and feel cause unless you can watch your front and rear tire while riding, or smell the rubber starting to slip then those are the two senses you have to depend on.

Your CPU is failing to process inputs correctly

Ah.  I thought you were referring to the feedback in the ABS system as a whole, not the sensors, which are monitoring all the time pretty much silently.  Sorry.

I refuse to post the location of the sensors on my bike...If I do, County  may notice it is an FJR and bash me  

[jfusaro]

front and rear wheels inside of the disks adjacent to that perferated thingy ma bob

[Hotbrakes]

Of course!  Its the rear wheel!  When it starts to squirm under heavy braking and then lifts off the ground I know that I am at maximum brake force and any more will result in a crash.

Years of riding dirtbikes have given me cat like reflexes that manipulate the front brake lever at the slightest inclination of slip.

[Mr.Black]

I hate you

With any positive result?

[ckvoncan]

front wheel, the oddball gear ring bolted on the left side.  

[Dan K]

Outside the pulsar ring, or reluctor ring, the slotted ring on each wheel with a small sensor about 1 mm away from it.   Duh!

Where is the option for "not opposed but my bike isn't equipped"?

[kevin_stevens]

That would be "No", you do not know where the ABS sensor is on your bike.

KeS

[SuperHans]

I voted yes, but refuse to describe where it is so don't count my vote. Stunad

[Snowbird]

I think the ABS sensor for my bike is ground into the center line of the road.

[Busy Little Whiner]

If your ABS sensor was up your butt you'd know where it is...
