The brochure for the Canadian model clearly states that the CB1100 is fitted with linked ABS brakes, but in the owners manual it also clearly states "for full braking effectiveness, operate both the lever and pedal together."
It also says that the ABS will not operate at less than 6 mph (10 kph). You wouldn't think that linked brakes would be limited that way too.
On my bike each caliper has one brake line with an ABS line connected only to the right front disc and the rear disc which is also on the right.
From the shape of the front calipers it's quite obvious that they're both two-piston units.
Yes that is what got me to thinking Rocky. I was reading up on the different systems and one article said if it had a combined system they would be 3 pot calipers. I thought "hmm, I'm sure mine are two pot calipers" and that is what led me to start experimenting with the wheel spinning and hitting the rear brake pedal and then eventually digging for more info.
