Abs Issue

[Andy25]

Afternoon Gentlemen

So ABS light came on last week - no  big deal reset after switching Bike on and off 

Then  day later on again  this time speedo reads about 30 mph max - once again managed to reset but this time needed to disconnect battery !

Now its back on again  speedo still not working properly - but if I put High Beam on it reads 0 mph no matter how fast I"m

going 

No obvious error codes

Red key is somewhere Safe ! ( Moving House this weekend so might take a day or 2 to find it ! )

So  now the questions 

 

ABS sensor - how does it come out ? does wheel need removed ?  ( though might be a case of give it a clean  ? )

It appears to have a bolt holding it in but even after removing that bolt - Sensor  still solid 

Had a look at Fowlers - these parts  are costly - so don't want to start ordering sensors etc unless I have too

 

Personally I'm not fussed about the ABS system  - ( I can put a bit of tape over that bloody bright red light ) its more the Speedo that bothers Me 

Had a look at JBX site also a quick sweep of Carpe - a few mentions but lacking the details that I want 

 

Cheers

How I do mine....

 

Heldi in by 1 bolt.

Wheel does not need removal

A gentle tap on the tang the bolt goes through to rotate the sensor in its housing and then remove the sensor by pulling like you were defusing a bomb.

 

Simples if it's not corroded in ala BMW. I think the 1300 yam sensors are the same but not sure anymore

Prone to corrosion if not part of your service routine. If it is stuck by corrosion - good luck and iI'm not responsible for anything you break.

 

When / if you remove the sensor take care not to bash the magnetic sensor end and clean it before assembly keeping the grease off the sensor end.

Well a  not so gentle tap  got some movement eventually  

But No way is that coming out easily  

looks like its corroded in 

Wonder if leaving the bolt out will help it vibrate loose   :hide:

I tried Favs method but the bracket ended up spinning on the sensor. Proper stuck.

No spinning here - bracket needs a very firm tap to move

Not sure what to do now - this has the potential to be bloody expensive

By chance have you an led rear light?

Nope - standard light

 

Strangely the ABS light issue has resolved its self 

At my new House there is a path of uneven crazy paving which I rode the bike over to park it whilst moving in

the Same thing I did the day before it went faulty   :unsure2:

Sounds stupid but No issues since then so been fine for past couple of days 

 

Think Ill just park on the Street for a bit
