Rooster72 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 My abs is acting up. The light on the panel is burning red indicating a problem, but will operate ok intermittently. Anyone have experience with this happening and a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMoto Posted September 18, 2016 My Rides (2) Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Can't help, my R doesn't have ABS. Start with reviewing problems/solutions listed with owners manual? System reset ? Bad wheel sensor ? Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster72 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I'd prefer just to disconnect it really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMoto Posted September 18, 2016 My Rides (2) Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 First place to check might be system fuses such as for the pump? Should be up in glove box hopefully. Any major changes in tire/rim sizes etc. could throw off system ? Hopefully not a faulty pump. Can't imagine what they go for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted September 19, 2016 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I had a sensor cable go out on my GSA and hear it's quite common. But then that would show up on your speedometer as well. My front Woody's wheel came with a small lip that should have been milled off but it prevented me re attaching my speed sensor so I just left it off but I do miss my ABS especially when I was splitting lanes and saw a car start to come over, I braked and felt the rear wheel slide. Not fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster72 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Not really, Ive checked and cleaned all connections. What I found interesting is the rear sensor was rubbing the disc, I cannot for the life of me figure out why or how it was jammed into the wheel. Im sure it caused damage to the sensor and malfunctioned.. The good thing is It's stuck in the off mode so Im really not too concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyHustler Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) My ring has a dent in it. Now when I grab the front brake it instantly pulses. So instead of fixing it can I pull the fuse? Will my speedo still work? Maybe I'll go find out? lol I don't want to have to disable it overtime I get on the bike......... Yeah, no fuse = no speedo. Rubbish ABS. Edited November 24, 2016 by HeavyHustler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyHustler Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 I just figured out there was a 2nd fuse for the ABS behind the skid plate. Pulled the fuse, no more hassles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wherever did you learn such wisdom HH? From my short experience I would look for a short in the abs wiring causing intermittent issues. Mine was the bolt head on engine behind battery box wore through one of the conductors. It would work for a bit and then blow the 40 A fuse. Just before that it would intermittently work without blowing the fuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
