Today, after reaching 800 km on clock, I decided to test ABS on my 2016 V9 Roamer.
I was suprised that abs light is not flashing when abs is engaged while braking.
Tried front and rear separately, at speeds around 40-50 km/h.
Abs definitely works as it should, abs light is OK - flashes as it should when I switch ingnition on, but abs light does not flashes when abs is engaged, as it usually does on a cars.

I got confused because MGCT light flashes when the system is engaged.

Manual does not say anything about abs light flashing other then after ignition on and before reaching 5 km/h.

So, should ABS light flash when abs is engaged?
 
I can't help answer whether the ABS light SHOULD work, but I would prefer that it did not work when the ABS is engaged. At those times, I don't need another distraction.
 
Come to think of it the ABS light does not/did not flash when active on any bikes I've owned with the system (BMW, Ducati, Harley).

And now you've got me thinking about cars, but unless I'm mistaken I'm thinking all my cars for quite some time don't either, just the TC lights flash when active.
 
Traction control light flashes on my V7II when it's working but I've not tested the ABS.
