I'm saying the system works as designed. Design is flawed, in my opinion. If I disable a system, I don't need a flashing light reminding me I did. Steady would be better as flashing for extended period just becomes a distraction that rider may eventually ignore. So, now you're ignoring the caution panel and another light pops up.

I see what your saying but have to disagree with you saying its flawed.

The flashing abs light when disabled is not only used by Ducati, bmw,KTM and honda also flash if the user disables the ABS. BMW flash once every four secs.
KTM flashes continually when disabled, this is because you have disabled a safety feature of the bike, and will continue to flash until switched back on.
I very much doubt whilst riding offroad that you would be looking at your instrument display, you'd be concentrating on riding.

It would be a good reminder a flashing light (in my book) for me to enable the ABS when back on normal roads.

Under normal road conditions if there was a fault on the ABS yes it would be a static light and no distraction.

This is a system that is widely adopted throughout the motorbike/car industry.
 
I'm thinking on the track. I would probably disable ABS when I felt comfortable enough and would be forced to put tape over the flashing light. You'd certainly be looking down for shift points and entry speeds.

I would prefer you can acknowledge the flash and it could even reset after each start up.

No need to keep this going. Just giving my opinion based on how planes handle systems and warnings.
 
I have not tested the ABS offroad, but if it was half as good as the Super Tenere you would not need to disable, but make sure it was on. Wish all the bikes could get it working half as good offroad.
 
I run it set on level 1 so I can lock up and drag the rear tire but not the front.
 
Okay, I need to get in some gravel and test it some. Been having too much fun on road lately!
