2011-2014 ZX10R Anti-Wheelie?

Hi guys

Apologies if this has been covered before.

I am busy looking for a 2011-2014 ZX10R to replace my 2012 ZX6R.
I am concerned about the traction and anti-wheelie systems on the ZX10R.

I have been doing some research and I have read about guys saying that the system did not intervene etc.

Anybody have this issue?

My concern is that I am a very light guy (around 50kgs), so the bike is always moving around underneath me, and always lifting unexpectedly (to me at least).

Almost all of my friends own BMW S1000RRs, so I have ridden plenty of those.
I have had instances where the front started lifting at speeds of around 260km/h. Without the anti-wheelie I would imagine I wouldn't have had the time to react at that speed.

Recently crashed an S1000RR, because I did not know it didn't have anti-wheelie, and I wasn't able to react in time.


So I just want the views of all of you about the system on the ZX10R

Thanx a mill

The anti-wheelie on the Gen4 is pretty good.
In racing conditions, having the Traction+Anti-Wheelie on setting 1 allows the wheel to hover when pulling out of corners aggressively but is a little too intrusive if your at the sharp end of the field (national level, not trackday). Level 2 cuts in a bit to harshly and the traction control actually increasing tyre wear when racing, Level 3 is so harsh that it upsets the bike way to much.

Can't really comment on how well it works on the road.. but it will wheelie on Level 1 if you intentionally make the front wheel come up quickly.
