Bypass the ABS for font brakes: Panigale V4

Fry · Nov 1, 2021

Hi. I have a 2019 Panigale V4 with stock braking system, except for Vesrah pads and Motul 660 fluid. I've been steadily increasing my pace in amateur racing and finally started getting ABS intervention just this past weekend. This was not "brake fade" but a definite, pronounced, prolonged pulsing of the front calipers under hard trail braking, and this sent me very wide one turn and then fully off-track into the dirt the next time. (I saved it and rejoined the race okay.) But, all of this cost me 5 places and disrupted my confidence.

I gather the minimum solution is simple: run a direct line from the master pump to the front calipers, and plug the ABS module inlet.

I wanted to query the forum to see if anyone had any recommended specific parts for this or any related advice. Thanks in advance!!!

[ Race Mode (Evo 2), ABS =1, Pirelli 125x70 SC1 front tire, 33 PSI off the warmers, good grip. ]

Your minimal solution is basically the only solution, additionally rear should not go thru it either.
I would also throw a Brembo Billet master on if I were you.
Side note 33psi is very low, should be 36. When you start going very hard on braking bump that up to 37-38 fro the front.
Sounds like you are doing amateur CVMA?

Thanks KarlKani. I appreciate any tips and will be reviewing your Winter Bike Build post now that I'm looking for something specific.

Yeah, I'm doing amateur CVMA, two classes: Amateur Formula Open and Formula 40.
If you guys are interested, I posted the race video this morning. Horrendous start and I'm too tentative the first few turns, and then ABS got me! Even still, I'm still floating on a cloud of pure happiness and am enjoying the progression.
