I am experiencing a low speed vibration when I brake to a complete stop. It feels like it might be ABS kicking in. At least this is what I thought it was but then I asked someone who I follow on Instagram who was experiencing the same issue and they claim it was warped discs. I just bought the bike about 3 months ago. this occurs when I grab the brake a little hard. To be honest I'm not 100% sure if it's front or back brakes since I break with both brakes most of the time. I'm strongly leaning towards it being the back brake though as I feel my foot going up and down a tiny bit when it happens. It has happened when I stopped kind of abruptly but I didn't think it would be enough to trigger ABS so it surprised me. And now that I seen that this guy's reporting it as warped discs it's making me wonder if that is what is going on with my own bike. It doesn't happen often at all. Again only when I stop kind of abrupt

I’ve never had warped discs on a bike, but my dad had them on his car once. Pretty much the only way to get them is to drive through a puddle of water during or after heavy braking. The sudden cooling down of the disc is what causes it to warp. The vibrating you feel on your rear foot during braking sounds like the abs kicking in to me.
You don’t need a lot of braking force on the rear to make them lock up. Especially when you are also using the front brake at the same time.
I would suggest trying both brakes separate from each other to see if you can find out which brake causes the vibration.

See above..👍👍
Happened to me when I almost missed a turn off. Went straight to a parking lot and spent some time getting use to it. Definitely sensitive to the point of annoying

Ut i imagine it might feel something like what i mentioned. Haven't driven over puddles or anything either. But i thought a light is supposed to glow on the dash when abs kicks in? |

According to the owner's manual if you turn the key on and grab the brake it'll pulse the ABS so you can see that the ABS feels like |
