If you want the rear ABS off without spending $ or having to remember to do the 3 second ABS dash button press every time you start the bike then all you need to do is remove the rear ABS sensor from the rear caliper mount, wind up the cable and cable tie it up under the battery box.

This will let you lock up the rear all the time with no pre-start procedures, however the ABS light stays on.

I was amused by the ABS, I like it on the front as it prevents a relatively heavy bike washing out, but the rear not locking got me in trouble once when I had to do a high speed evasive manoeuvre on the dirt, I needed to change direction and wash off speed fast so I wanted the rear to lock so i could throw it sideways, the ABS on the rear just had me heading deeper into strife than I liked.

Ive just bought and fitted a SCOTTS rear disc guard shark fin, I didnt know it was designed for pre ABS 690's because it doesnt have the mounting point for the ABS sensor, which is why Ive removed the ABS sensor and coiled it under the Battery.
I will cut the ABS mount section off the stock caliper mount and get it welded onto the SCOTTS disc guard, may as well have it working and I dont like the ABS light being on all the time.
I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was.
