ABS fuse deletion
By: trailpioneer Date: August 30, 2015, 6:33 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I have a 2014 690. ABS on this bike is overkill and a pain in
the a**. I got weary of pushing the button every time I fire it
up plus half the time I'd forget until I got to the first gravel
road corner. To eliminate the hassle I pulled the three fuses
associated with the ABS. With these fuses gone I'm happy with
the braking. The only two problems are that the yellow ABS light
stays on and the odo doesn't register speed or mileage. The
light doesn't bother me, but not having a speedo or mileage
does. Anybody know a fix for the problem other than spending
$120 for a don gull?

I'm not sure of any other "fixes" for the issue. I bought the
KTM dongle that plugs in. I have set my ABS the way I want it
(front wheel - ABS enabled, rear wheel - ABS disabled) and
everything works. It's that way each time I start the bike and
take off. The speedo and odometer all work fine. I know it's
$120 dollars. But in my mind this is one of those electronic
things that ya just bite the bullet and do it. Then you never
look back and there are no mysterious issues on the road.
Once I wrapped my mind around the ABS off-road I like it. Ride
into the corner HARD - grab a handful of brake and shut it down.
No drama - just ride. What a change from the old DT Enduro days.

I'm leaning toward doing this as well. I didn't like the feel
of the ABS in the dirt at all, at least not on the rear. I'm
used to riding moto on tracks and the first time I hit rear
brake, I was expecting a lock-up and got the opposite. I know
it can be turned off, but I didn't do it :-\ it would be
nice to flip a switch and have it done...

Trailpioneer, if you decide to bite the bullet and get the
dongle, I recommend buying it through Munnracing.com. They give
a 5% discount on their site, but if you are registered at
KTMTalk.com forum, you can link into Munn racing and get 25%
off. I have the dongle and run it like Kingrider. You still
have to deal with a flashing ABS light on the dash (slow flash=
front ABS, faster flash= no ABS) and you can't turn the ABS to
completely on without disconnecting the dongle.

Ok, update on eliminating the fuses. I put the small 10amp fuse
back in and left the large 15 and 25 amp fuses out. Speedo and
mileage counters all work! Front and rear brakes now operate
with no ABS. I went for a 100 mile ride today without any
problem. I feel much more in control now. The front brake is
pretty strong without ABS pulsating it ,but that's the way I
like it.

Actually you can set it to full ABS on without disconnecting the
dongle. Put the kill switch to on, turn on the key, turn kill
switch off and start. You will have full ABS front and rear.
Want rear ABS only again? Turn kill switch off, turn on the key
start and you will have rear only.
The no flashing, slow flashing or fast flashing ABS lamp on the
dash will let you know which mode your in!

Hey Oldfellow, thanks for that info. I didn't see that in the
instructions supplied with the dongle.

It's not. I discovered it in a video on ADVRider.com. I'll look
for the link. Oh and I'm Odd not old, well actually now I guess
I'm odd and old!

I used to turn my ABS off all the time thinking "whats that #$%^
on a dirtbike for anyways?" But learn to use the force I have &
it is good!! Once I gave myself a chance to get used to it I
found I can ride harder into corners with much more confidence.
The other plus is when your head isn't totally in the game ABS
WILL save your a$$ from a UPS truck that pulls out of a blind
driveway that you are approaching on gravel way too fast... Not
that I would know..
