Hi Guys
Looking for some help/advice here
I have a 2004 St1300 ABS Today is the first reasonable day to get out on it since I bought it at xmas
The bike has had new fork seals fitted and today when i was out i braked not too hard but was not a tap as the front end went down i could hear a scuffing noise, i was wondering if this had anything to do with new seals, no sooner had i noticed this and I did have to brake hard and not a lot seemd to happen and i had to move to the right to avoid the rear of the car infront, now my questions is when do you know when the ABS is working or when it cuts in, cos im not too impressed with the ST brakes i also own a CBR 1100 and if had to brake the same way with that bike then i would have been up out of the saddle, both of them are combined braskes but the ST has ABS and would seem the worst of the two, then when i slowed down on the ST and applied the front brake i came to almost a stop and then i felt, it was like a small judder.
I have only owned this bike about a month i have no real history with it so just looking for somewhere to start.
Thanks in advance
