Gentlemen. I've been meaning to start a thread about my anti-lock brakes, but it looks like we've already got one going. My rear brake works great! It has a lot more stopping force than my VFR and I am really happy with it. My concern is the functioning of the anti-lock system on the rear brake. I used it in an emergency (when an 18 wheeler did a right turn across my lane without using his turn signal) and the wheel locked easily, but the anti-lock felt like it was cycling at about 1 Hz, which I find rather odd. I tried locking the rear brake two additional times in a parking lot with the same results - the wheel will instantly lock, then the anti-lock solenoid valve feels like it is cycling at approximately 1 Hz. I know from experience that the front brake anti-lock system on this bike cycles at approximately 60 Hz, which seems to be what cars I have driven operate at. Does anyone know what the rear brake anti-lock solenoid frequency should be?
