Had to suddenly stop but ABS kicked in and the bike kept moving forward. I am not sure anymore I like the idea of ABS on motorcycles.
No damage to the bike except the rear brake lever bent a little bit, luckily i have crash bars that took the hit.
here is the video:

If the OP has something to update please PM me, otherwise it remains closed.
About 1 year ago I posted a alert about the wiring harness on the 2015 650 ABS, some thought it a knee jerk reaction, I felt it was of importance not so much as to safety but reliability, many of the outer wires in the harness at that location were 18 gauge or smaller and went to the ECU , something that could fail over time and be unaware of it until you were left stranded. It turns out that my lowered 2015 was a combination of possible manipulation of the harness by me and the dealership, it turns out that everyone that posted had sufficient clearance at the top of the rear shock.
So initially I was trying to give a heads up on a possible problem. And that is exactly what I thought of when this thread started, unfortunately I feel there is misinformation and a lack of willingness to either investigate further by using a professional Kawasaki mechanic , or come forward with information that has been missing in previous posts, with a logical explanation of what happened. As it stands right now, this thread would be a good thread for Triumph to use for negative feedback in advertising against buying a Versys.
