When this happens with a YB ABS system, the ABS will activate and will stay activated the whole time the pedal is pressed.. NOT Ideal at all.

I find that with the RST the ABS starts to cut in under heavy braking even with grip to the tyres, then the RST ABS system removes around half the braking i had and pulses the brakes diagonally front and rear causing only 2 wheels to be doing the braking at a time thu = half the braking i had 
Where as with the whole ABS removed and in the bin somewhere i have a better feel of the brakes and im in total control on how much braking to the point of locking the wheels without losing half my braking power because the system decided it was locking wheels.
I works sooooo much better without my ABS and i can hit the brakes knowing that i can get to the point where they are just starting to lock and hold it there and not worry that im suddenly going to lose some of this braking force. Its also nice to know they gonna work the same ammount every time i brake
