A question from a visiting K rider.
I recently took a F800ST out for a test ride. As I approached the traffic light at the end of an off ramp following a 12 mile ride on the interstate the bike seemed to slow very quickly and I noted a burning smell. I pulled onto the nearest side street to investigate and found the rear brake to be engaged and the rear disk looking darkened. There were no warning indicators for the ABS, or any other warnings. Since the bike would move with some reluctance and I was within a couple miles of the dealer, I forced myself to rev it high enough to get moving and by the time I arrived at the dealers the bike was operating normally. Have any of you experienced a similar problem? Are there any braking problems associated with the F800's equipped with ABS?
