Has anyone jailbroken ABS ASR systems yet to manually override to off?
I'd rather have ABS than not but many say (including my Haynes manual) a good, attentive rider stops faster on a non-ABS bike.

As far as I know, converting to an ABS-less ECU also requires rebuilding hand pumps, brake lines, and calipers. But honestly, I'm technically out there now... Let's hope that there are still knowledgeable people around here
By staring at the wiring diagrams I understand the following:
The ABS unit gets the individual front/wheel speeds from the tone/speed wheel sensors. The ABS does not require the ECU to do it's job.
The Speedo gets it speed from the ABS - not the sensors - via a dedicated wire direct from the ABS (not the CAN bus).
The ECU gets both wheel speeds from the ABS (via CAN bus*) and uses that data to implement ASR and the speed limiter.
So fully disconnecting the ABS would screw up the Speedo and ASR and speed limiter but I guess it could be kept electrically connected and just the brake lines disconnected from it and then the Speedo and ASR would still work.
To make ASR disabled without having to turn it off each time you start the scoot (which is an easy habit to form - I do it most of the time) would obviously require modifying the ecu. theoretically possible but haven't heard of anyone doing it. the ecu has been 'jailbroken' for older gts, but I've only heard of a couple of guys messing with the hpe ecus - not yet common practice.
I've never heard of jailbraking the ABS - not something I'd recommend anyway.
