r/HarleyPanAmerica

Hello all, I’ve had my Pan America for about two months now and I’m loving it. The only thing I’m struggling with is the rear ABS.

On my previous bikes I was used to using the rear brake hard on corner entry and sometimes letting the rear lock/slide slightly — backing it in. On the Pan America, the ABS steps in before that happens, and I keep finding myself fighting it out of habit.

Is there a way to disable or reduce rear ABS specifically through the ride modes/settings? Not looking to remove all safety aids, just trying to understand what options the bike has.

Thanks!

Kind of a pain in the ass but I think it turned out pretty rad.

Hello Fellow Pan America Owners!

First, love my Pan America - I've owned & ridden motorcycles since I was 10yo (dirt, sport, cruiser, touring) and this is by FAR the best bike I've ever owned. Mine is a 2024.

I do take it trail riding and find plenty of sand here in Florida - and the bike goes down from time to time. When it does, as I'm sure many of you know, it goes into "limp mode" (engine idles at a high RPM and the bike won't go faster than ~15mph - pic of what it looks like attached). These faults cannot be cleared through the bikes interface. The first time it happened, it took hours for them to clear... and they did with time. I've read that if you turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds, turn it back on without starting the bike, and press the hazard button - it will reset... but that doesn't work either.

Anyone know how to bring the bike back to life after dropping it without waiting for hours? The dealership certainly doesn't know and I find it hard to believe that Harley made an ADV-touring bike that becomes a paperweight after a gentle spill in the sand.

Thanks in advance for any feedback on a fix!
