That was kinda the way I thought they worked, although modern computer
stuff should make it a lot quicker than a tenth of a second.

From what Clem said, however, it seems that they may be using more
complex ways of recognising a potential lock-up.

I assume you mean the Bosch was the first on bikes.

The "original" ABS was the Dunlop Maxaret system used on aircraft, and
then later on a few cars.

That system did have about a tenth of a second lock-up before the
pressure got released, but it was a long time ago.

What sort of car?

But to go back to the start of the thread; I reckon it'd be a ripper thing
on learner's bikes!

 

Heh heh.

 

The Bandit ABS system didn't do that, it cycled quick enough that what
you felt was a vibration (fairly strong one) coming from the front end.
It was quite noticible although not dangerous. It also made the
steering feel quite heavy when it was activated.

Fook me, you learn something new every day. I thought the Bosch was first.

(I did mean on cars actually, I was just iggerant of the correct facts)

 

It's an incomplete interpretation.

What you really should say is:

"Experts can brake better without ABS when they are prepared to brake
hard and not facing a surprise situation but when startled or surprised
by unexpected events or situations one should expect a degredation in
'expert' braking responses, often to a point where they would be better
off with an activated ABS system."

Thank you for clearing that up for me, Geoff-San.

Absolutely correct, whilst riding with thumb in bum and mind in neutral ABS
is a very handy thing to have.

No. The Ducati was chain drive.

 

Heh, You should have told the bloke I sold it to. He blew the radiator and
transmission towing a horse float with it the next day!
