ABS fault clearing

[kioolt]

To check your ABS would it not be possible to put the bike on the centre stand and run it in gear the prescribed distance. :dunno You wouldn't have to rev it's head off and it might save future disappointment when the snow clears.

What about the front wheel sensor?

One of the system checks is to see if both wheels are turning at the same speed.  Bike has to be moving across the ground to get it.  Only needs to move 5-6 feet to pass the test.

Not necessarily.

If one line is marked across the side profile of both the front and rear tires with Wite-Out then both lines synchronized in their vertical positions, it should be possible—after a few hours or days of practice—to become adept at rotating the tires at precisely the same speed. Bingo!

What else is there to do when weather keeps you from riding?

Perhaps I’ll just wait for the snow to stop...

That's my plan...

So here, in the quest for perfection, is a tidied up update...

First of all, the snow has gone and I am mobile again!

I have now cleared the fault with my abs system and what I did may be of some help to others with the same problem. I worked my way through this excellent article (http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/topic,1631.0.html) and confirmed that the front sensor was the problem (three pulses, tested with an analogue voltmeter). I then removed the abs brain connector and check the resistance of the front sensor I had fitted, which was within spec. I did wonder if this might have been the problem because the sensor I used is from an 1100LT and I had to change the connector over to fit my wiring loom.

I then used a variation in the procedure published elsewhere on this site in that I pressed and held the abs reset button after turning on the ignition, not before (as described in the article linked to above). I'm not saying pressing the switch before doesn't work but turning on the ignition first worked for me. More Voodoo ...?

Also useful is to know that once the fault has been cleared (ie the normal mode), the ABS lights flash together and not alturnaytely so this is how you can tell it's now ok rather than having to go for a ride.
