Hi.

I am now tired of all the faults on my ABS-system, on my ST1100 '93.
What is the easiest way to disconnect and forgetting all problems.

Disconnect all the fuses for the ABS and remove bulbs on the dash ?
If so, is that 100% safe ?

I found out by accident that if you disconnect the ABS/TCS swtiches on the left faring pocket, the system will be disabled. The warning light will blink however. I don't think I would ever classify disconnecting an ABS system as 100% safe though...

Thanks.

But will it be less safe than a bike without ABS ?
Can the the disconnected ABS-modulators make any problem, so you can not thrust that you have 100% brake capasibillity. (Of course without ABS ) ?

The system is designed to fail into a safe state, so your bike will be the equivalent of a non-ABS bike in all respects. If you've been riding with the fault light on, the system has already failed and will have disabled itself. Pulling the fuse will just keep it that way.
