How do you disable ABS on the Rocket Roadster is all I want to know. I don't want questions as to why, or horror stories as to why not! If it can be done I just want that information only, without me having to explain why I want that! If you absolutely need an explanation, here goes. BECAUSE I am a grown ass man that doesn't need or want permission to do so. There you go. Thank you in advance to anyone that willing to share the answer. I do have Tune ECU by the way.
 
A clear and concise request!
The man knows what he wants.

Unfortunately I don't have abs on my bike so I have no answer for you but I appreciate your directness.
 
If I had abs on the rear of my bike and wanted to disable it I would try removing the sensor from the reluctor wheel and see what happens. You will most likley get a fault code on the instruments.
I'm guessing that if the sensor is not giving information that the system recognizes it will default to a "non operative" condition, meaning that the system will not engage. It's unknown if the engine control module would have any other reaction.
Just taking a stab at this.

When i give my opinion it is for everyone on this site not just one person that wants the perfect answer
now this is my opinion for the rest of the site
put about 50,000 miles and i think that the rocket tries to go out from under you faster than the other bikes i have owned
on cars you can pull the fuse on the rocket you could disconect the the sensor and i am going to guess it will turn on a abs light.

On right side between engine and rear wheel there is the ABS valve block. If you remove the cover there is a big orange plug inside that you can slide up the locker on and unplug.
The yellow ABS light will stay on afaik bit no codes thrown.

Have not done this on a bike only an engine running on a bench.
 
I like it!
 
I have done this - on both of my R3Rs.
The front and rear brakes are separate systems. There are two cube fuses under the seat, one for each wheel.
The rear ABS on R3R is a POS!
When hooning twisties, on both of my R3Rs the rear brake pedals lock up rendering rear brake application useless. This is Scary and VERY dangerous.
Years ago I removed the rear ABS fuses which cured the problem and now allows my sphincter to remain relaxed!
 
Put a switch inline from the two fuses under the seat, then you can turn it on or off as desired.
