I know there is quite a bit of insight scattered over many posts, but it is hard to apply this knowledge to my (recent) problem. Any help would be really welcome. Here is what happens on my m/c:
- turn ignition on : ABS light on as expected
- start engine and roll : light goes off, as expected
- riding : no issues
However, when you brake hard enough with the rear brake the wheel blocks and the ABS light comes on and stays on until you turn the ignition off,
- I have not tried with the front brakes.
This seems to indicate that the valve inside the ABS unit (which is supposed to release the pressure and open up the brake momentarily) does not operate when needed BUT the unit cannot tell when the self test is run at start. Would you have any idea what could be wrong ? or what I can do before taking her to the dealer and spend a fortune ?
Thanks !!
