Hi Guys,

Just looking at the V's, can you tell me what the first year they put the ABS on for the 650?

Ride a KLR now.

Thanks

2007 ........

And it was an option. Most don't have it until it was standard in 2011.

Thanks guys. That helps me know what years to look for.

No it doesn't. If you want ABS, look for ABS. Anybody advertising an ABS bike for sale will include that it has ABS. What you need to watch out for is other people who think all 2007s, 8s or 9s have ABS. Few do. You're only safe with 2011s as all of them have ABS. Look for the ABS light on the bottom of the speedometer.

Wouldn't the presence of sensor rings also be proof?

Sorry for the potential thread jack, but Pat, what's that digital display under your dash?

It's a voltmeter/thermometer+.
