Ice mode solution?

Red__Zed · 04-05-2011, 10:40 PM

I'm curious if the issue has been experienced by anyone with the base brakes. I've obviously run into heat issues, but haven't yet experienced the reduced brake force the way you guys are describing. Might help narrow down the issue if it isn't being experienced on the base brakes.

Good point, but after pushing my base brakes to the point that Triple's could smell my brakes burning half a mile behind me with smoke billowing off them, I would not think they could last long enough or have enough bite to equal the conditions that trigger ice mode with the Akebonos.

I understood it is not heat related, besides that, if you got to that point, you should have been hot enough to trigger the condition if it was.

From what I can tell, it's due to issues with the ABS controller. It may be worth looking into why it doesn't seem to occur on base setups.
