Metalstorm, I had a 1992 Honda Accord and had the same problem with over-sensitive ABS although my problem was on icy roads. I sometimes had to jam on the parking brake to avoid a collision. So I installed a switch in the wire that led to the ABS fuse. I presume the same could be done on the CBR 250R. I believe if the fuse is blown then the system reverts to non-ABS

If one could install a switch without it throwing an error code that would be sweet!

While I am confident that I could match or better stopping distances against an ABS bike on dry roads, I guarantee an ABS bike will best me every time on a wet road. A switch would allow the best of both worlds.

What I like most about the BMW GS bikes & pretty much most of all the modern adventure bikes is that little on/off switch for the ABS system.
You could just try pulling the fuse. It is unlikely that it would do any harm since a fuse is meant to blow if there is an overload. It might result in an error code that may or may not result in the ABS re-starting. I think it would be a simple thing for the dealer to reset the code. If the ABS does re-start when you replace the fuse then you have your answer - buy a switch!
