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. Crazy

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

KeS


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 Smile

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.

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.

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

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

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

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