Heard about this yesterday.
When it fails, does it just act like regular brakes?

But it is important to realize that with ABS in case of an emergency you MUST do a full braking until the bike stops for ABS working in the way it should. So if you do a full braking and the ABS is NOT working your tire will slide and then -> crash or hopefully not... So always remember: DON'T TRUST IN ANY SYSTEM, since it can and sometimes it also will fail (you know Murphy's law). |

One more reason that ABS is not necessary
I kid, I kid. But really, the non-ABS bikes aren't being recalled. Just sayin |

I just called Kawasaki and talked to Tim, he told me to call back on Friday when they will have the VINs of all affected models in their system.
I guess 8/2/13 is when the recall will begin and they will know for sure which models are going to be affected.
