Hello,

My Frst has abs, wondering if there is anyway to disable the abs system, can i pull the fuse or unplug anything?

Cheers in advance

The ABS system on these is mechanical so pulling fuses will achieve nothing. Throwing the system away is a good way to improve the brake feel dramatically. Ignore the muppets that tell you just to cut the belts as this is a bodge of the worst kind. You will need to have the modulators removed (nice weight saving) and have some pipework made up to connect the system back up. You may want to fit a non abs reservoir but a lot people just blank the returns in the existing one instead.
