Downtown 300 / Re: Noises
« on: August 08, 2015, 05:19:30 AM »
Hey Guys.

I do not want to open a new topic just want to ask something about a weird noise that I have from today.
When I have a passenger with me during accelerations from 0kmh I hear a strange sound coming from cvt or engine I am not quite sure.
I think it is the CVT.
The sound is like a normal sound when accelerating but suddenly it goes deeper for a second or two and then back to normal.
Anyone have any idea what could this be?
I have 11500km belt was not changed or anything on the CVT.

Thanks,

TheB

If you live in the US, you definitely do not have ABS, no matter how it "looks".  Was never installed on US spec Downtowns.

But the check is very simple; when you turn your ignition on (don't start), the system goes through a self-check, and at that point a ABS warning light would need to come on.  If you do not see one, NO ABS present, if you see one, you have ABS.  This works for ANY vehicle.  (FYI: I bought an older car and nobody could tell me [asking them over the phone] if the car was equipped with ABS or not. Sent them out to the car to do this procedure and bingo, the car had ABS...
I live in the EU. And I have abs on my car and I do not have this procedure.

So that is why I am asking and since this is my first bike would be nice if I have abs. :-)
But i t wasn't a deal breaker when I purchased it.

Anyhow I see pictures of a few downtowns and I see some of them with  bigger discs and a inner small disc with holes at the back.
I have this at the front wheel but not at the back.

Anyway thanks for reply. [emoji6]

Hi Guys.
First off all nice to read this forum as i gathered a lot of info on my DT.

Back to subject. As I understood we all have the front brake that "looks" like abs.
With the inner ring and abs sensor.
But the difference between Abs and non abs is the rear disc?

Because I bought mine used with the seller telling me NO abs version.
The the other day went to buy some stuff for the bike in a respective shop and the mechanic there said it had ABS.

So right now I believe I do not have it but just to check with you guys.[emoji6]

Thanks,
theb
