Hill Hold feature

I love tank bags, they go quickly on most bikes with well exposed metallic tank. Multiple bikes, one bag, one set of stuff. You can drop one garage opener puck in the bag. I think I have seen garage openers as key ring accessories, small ones too. Also, you can add a universal bluetooth module to your garage door motor, you can use your phone to open the door, even simpler.

That's nifty, but not an OEM switch cube. The upside is it would remove the opener from my pocket (if it works on my doors (90% isn't a guarantee)). Now do I want to buy 6 of them, hmmmm?????

As Einar points out when you squeeze the front brake lever the system actuates all three calipers. When you activate hill hold and release the front brake only the front brakes are affected. The ABS modulator holds the rear brake pressure by shutting a valve that returns fluid to the rear brake reservoir, when you start rolling again that solenoid is de-energized opening the valve under spring pressure, releasing the rear brake pads.

This is wrong wrong wrong. The front brake lever has absolutely nothing to do with the rear caliper. It only creates pressure for the front brake system. You keep feeding this false line that the brakes are linked.

The only linking going on is at the abs modulator which clicks shut upon activating the hill-hold feature. If there was no rear brake pressure applied by you before activating, it's not holding the rear brake. And certainly not creating rear brake pressure from the front brake lever. The hill hold is only holding pressure. Front pressure because it was activated, rear ONLY if you put rear brake on while the hill hold activated. Linked only in the holding function, not linked brakes. nada, no, none.
