Title: Funny ABS story
Post by: subforry on August 11, 2014, 02:36:33 PM
Clearly in my mind the flashing (RR crossing) ABS lights have nothing to do with the ABS working or not.

I rebuilt my rear master cylinder and thought a short ride to let any air bubbles group and cycle the ABS.  I started off and the ABS lights are flashing.  No problem I will reset the ABS when I stop.

After a few blocks I think it is a good time to cycle the rear ABS.  At low speed I stomp on the rear brake, the bike fishtails about.  As I am countering the fishtail I am thinking why isn't the ABS kicking in?  Duh, because the bike clearly is saying that ABS is not working.

So after resting the ABS I run the test again and it works fine.  It was a good thing the ride was short because I think my mind was not fully operational.
