Sorry I don't have access to my bike at the moment,but while removing my battery I noticed an open space for a relay.
If I remember correctly there was 3 relays with room for one more.The empty space was on the throttle side.
If someone doesn't post a pic I'll try and get it for you.

 

Is your abs warning light on?
Seems unplugging the front wheel sensor could in effect disable the system.
Looks like you need to remove the tank and airbox to get to it.

 

How's this

 

They also could have simply pulled the ABS fuse. At least that's how I would go about disabling the ABS permanently.

Do you know if this causes any error codes/warning lights?

 

Not sure if this is what you need or not but I just went out to the garage and snapped a few shots with the seat off. Mine is a 14 Street R ABS. Hope it helps.
:thumbup:

 

Hey GZ,

Yeah, my ABS warning light is on. My guess is they just disabled it by unplugging something. I honestly thought I would find the front sensor unplugged, but I was able to see that connector under the airbox and it does appear to still be plugged in.

Thanks for pictures, guys, it appears that the open relay spot is correct.

I thought they may have pulled the fuse too, but I checked it, and assuming there is only the 1 20amp fuse by the fuse box, then it is good. Installed and not popped. As of right now I'm assuming whatever they did is in the front sensor circuit as I do have that fault present.

 

Here's the wiring diagram

 

 

Awesome, thanks guys.

There doesn't seem to be much to the system, so I'm really going to have to focus on that connector and get a better look to make sure it's completely plugged in. It's tight under the tank, and though I can see it, I can't get my hands on it. Hopefully it just appears to be plugged in completely and isn't, because otherwise based on that diagram I'm not sure how they did it.

Anyone know for sure whether the factory dealer software can disable the ABS? I've found nothing that says it can be done, other then what the dealer told me, but I haven't found 100% proof otherwise, either.

 

Can you enable the ABS through the dashboard menu?

 

Nope, never comes on.

 

I know for a fact that could be disabled using the Triumph tool. Because mine was disabled from the factory and I had to ask my dealer to enable the ability to turn off the ABS.

 

^what he said,I also had to have the dealer enable the ability to disable my abs...wait what? I confused myself

 

The user manual shows how to disable the ABS but after my 6000 mile service the option does not appear. I am gonna have to go to the dealer and get this function back up. Sometimes the ABS light stays on for a like a minute then it shuts off

When you guys disable the ABS, you have to do it through the cluster each time the bike is started, correct? In other words, the ABS is set to come on at start up until manually turned off?

 

Correct, ABS defaults to on unless deactivated after every on off cycle of the key.

 

Yeah, see, I'm always off no matter what, and the ABS light is always on. My guess is they caused a fault somehow, which shuts the system down at start-up.

I'll update with what I find, when I find it.

Thanks for the help, everyone.

 

Error codes I'm not so sure but I'd imagine it would definitely make the dash light go off as the ABS is not functioning hence the warning light for you to get it looked at.

 

So just re-visiting this thread. Brought my bike in for the 500 mile service last week, hating the ABS, dealer said they would try and disable it but weren't able to. They are emailing Factory Triumph to find out more info. I pulled the fuse, but the ABS light stays permanently on when I do that. Anybody know if there is a resistor or something I can plug into the harness instead of the ABS module so it still thinks its there even though its not? Worst part is I dont even have the option in the menu to disable it (though it would still get tiresome to do it everytime I turned the bike on)...

 

There's no sub menu in the dash to disable the ABS? I was told when I bought mine there was. I agree that it would be a pain to disable it each time you cycle the ignition but it's better than nothing.

 

With the key on,go into the settings menu.
Scroll thru options
Mine goes from shift to odometer to abs.

If this doesn't work,it is very possible the dealer did not enable the ability to disable the abs.
Make sense?

My dealer did not do this,so I went back to have them do it for me.It should be part of set up.

From what I was told,Ducati does this also.It is supposed to ensure the dealer has a safety talk with you about the abs.

Ya, mines not there... Gonna have to swing by the dealer...

 

Got it.. Anybody know if the whole ABS system can be removed or permanently disabled without the light kicking on...
