@max, you ARE a genius !!!!
today went on wet grass (with care), again wheels blocked and ABS light comes on as before, rear and front, all the same.
tried a few more times - faster, heavier braking, no effect at all.
Found a different spot in the grass with a little more gravel visible and less dew visible. Tried the rear first, but no improvement.
Back to the front, speed up to 15 may be 20mph, heavy braking. Repeat ... only after 6th or 7th repetition I hear the ABS kick in on the front AND the light stays off. Try again, try the rear. The problem is gone.
If anybody has that problem and reads this thread, be careful ! You want boots on with very good traction and hold that handle bar straight. Otherwise your ABS test will end "where no man has ever wanted to go before".
Will watch if it stays like this over the next few rides. For now all I can say : Kisses to the moon and back to NZ !!!
