I got my bike in 2016, and immediately spaced out the rear brake ABS sensor, disabling the whole system.

This has worked 100% until about a year ago, when I would find the rear brake pedal rock hard, with zero braking, every 5 out of 10 tries.

This did not bother me much, but over the last week, particularly descending the rear entry into Baviaans over plenty loose rock at a steep decline, when applying the rear brake, the front would be

disabled continuously by the ABS system, and the bike would start running away.

I very quickly figured that the front brake works 100%, as long as you do not use the rear one.

I am asking the guys who has worked on the 701 ABS sytems before, what have you done to it? Have you encountered this problem.

I have not Googled yet.
