As per title
Any of you Sprint riders suffered from a vibration under braking? Hard applications tend to show the effects whilst braking like making love to a beautiful woman does not ;)

When your ABS is activated, does your warning light flash?

thanks

My sprint doesn't have abs, but I've never had a problem with vibration on the front.

Have you cleaned the callipers. Triumphs are well known for suffering from sticky pistons. Even a lazy git like my good self has ended up cleaning em once per year at least.

Can't say I've felt any vibration off the bike when braking. I think I've only ever brought the ABS in on the front once and I was too busy worrying about running up someones back end to notice if it was vibrating or if the light was on. :eek

I would say warped discs as a first check and no the ABS light doesn't flash although from memory the ABS system didn't work very well anyway! :( :roll
