How to tell if 6th gen has ABS

[46fortress]

I'm ordering new brake lines and there are options for ABS and non ABS variants. I have an 04 VFR800 and not quite sure how to determine if I have ABS or not (I'm new to motorcycle maintenance). Thanks in advance!

There will be a small, notched ring on the front wheel with a sensor.

Also, on your Instrument Panel, you should see an ABS warning light at switch On. The light should go out when your speed exceeds 6mph.

If I remember correctly, 6th gen. VFRs with ABS have gold brake calipers.  Non-ABS bikes have black brake calipers.  Maybe that changed at some point during the 6th gen's run, but it should be true for your 2004.

Pics of your rotors would help us help you also. 

 

If all else fails, grab the brakes hard and fast in the rain... (j/k!)

For most 6th gen VFR800s, you can check if your motorcycle has ABS by looking at the color of your brake calipers. If they are gold, your bike has ABS; if they are black, it does not. This is a good initial indicator, but it's always best to consult your owner's manual or contact your local dealership to confirm for your specific model year.
