I'm currently running minus ABS. My tires let out brief howl as they nearly stopped my vx instantly. I went out on some gravel covered concrete to practice and I really am considering leaving my ABS off. It's such a tough decision- I have felt very uncomfortable with the ABS on in the past. I wish they made an easy on and off switch for it.
Glad it went better for you.

When I get the VX back I'll certainly be looking into the ABS issue. It's obvious that Isuzu calibrated the ABS for the stock tires so I'm sure it's far from optimal for the larger tires. Since it can't be easily recalibrated, disabling appears the best option. My tires are 10% larger than stock - that's gotta be WAY outside the design parameters.
