Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread
I hope you have gone through the link i had shared.
May be am wrong, but from what i have heard and read, RLP is not an additional feature(yes gyro sensors and all included), its a part of an ABS unit, only the TVS are advertising it as an extra feature.

You're very right about the the way it works. Let me clear it for you Aditya. When you brake at 100 KMPH, or grab a handful as you mentioned. You won't be thrown off with an ABS fitted motorcycle, for the most part. You people grabbing from 100+ plus kays and the bike absolutely screeches yet comes to a halt without fuss. If it were the case with normal motorcycle yes, would would be thrown off in no time.
Just because it has a sensor at the rear doesn't mean it has an RLP. Let me explain in little details how it works. Say for example, with the RS 200 single channel abs WITHOUT a rear wheel sensor, the ABS should be totally useless. How will the ABS ECU know if the wheel is locked if only the front wheel had the sensor? Let me take your example, 100 KMPH panic brake, front wheel locks, how will the countermeasure of unlocking the wheel will be done by the hydraulic unit if the only wheel with the sensor is locked without having other input to know that the bike is actually moving? That is where the rear wheel comes, see here is how it works; you panic brake, front locks the rear keeps spinning, ECU detects front wheel is locked since the rear wheel is moving more than the front, and instantly reduces the front brake pressure. You got the point now? RLP is just using additional gyro sensor with the ABS unit and also the gyro sensor will check if the bike is in level with the ground and not imbalanced.
So, in short there isn't a dedicated RLP gyro as such, it's just the plain way how ABS works. This is how all ABS works. You can do a stoppie in an RS less than the ABS sensor actuation speed, in case of the RS 200 it's 6 KMPH or 10 KMPH I guess you can try that, and the bike would stoppie with no problems. Go above 6 and 10 and try doing a wheelie, you'd know it'd be pretty much difficult, because it's the humble ABS doing its work.
