Worked for me. Still have no idea why

Thanks in advance for any help.

I just got a 2014 R3R ABS. Just put new tires on and am now having a rear ABS problem. I put on a Bridgestone EMax 240/55 and Michelin Commander 2 140/75 to try to quicken the steering a little. The bike handles much better!

The problem is that the rear brake ABS is being activated to such an extent that I really dont have rear brakes! The rear brake works a little at slow speeds but gets less effective as speed increases. Above 60 or 70 MPH you cant even depress the brake lever!

I have read some threads on here about changing tire sizes and changing to this combination seems to have a lot of support. My ABS light is not on. I'm thinking that going bigger on the back AND smaller on the front is causing my issues. What do y'all think?

@Smathersfish did you ever figure out what was causing this problem? I have the same problem now and started when I switched to Emax in rear. I have same tires, same bike, same year as you.
