Speedo taped up in ABS window 91K100RS 16v

[TaosBob101]

     I would like some input from the Forum on this....
 May go look at the 91 K100RS 16v. It's 2.5 hrs away from me. I have yet to call the seller yet . Bike has been on C List for a while. 4th pic in. He taped up the ABS check light windows, cause they are throwing error codes ? The system is inop?

     What would you ask him ? I pulled a check on another down here in the city, only one light on but going thru the check sequence ok. What would one make of that ? Any help or input is welcome. I want to get riding soon, but have the time to pick out a good one. I have just been looking and calling about K100's for the time being. Thoughts?

I am not familiar with the K100 ABS lights, but I would expect it is not working.
Seems a little pricy.  Check the date code on the tires.  If the rear shock is stock, expect it to be gone or going.
This one here has more miles but is K1100 and has many extra bits, plus it costs more because it is in CA.

Some of us have been known to put tape over the annoying flashing light rather than fix the ABS.  I had it that way for a few years until I finally just pulled the whole system out this spring.
That is not the only option, of course, there is lots of on-line help for re-setting and fixing the ABS system.

      Thanks, I am going to call this guy and have my list of things to ask. Maybe more than I should but it's a clue to if I want to drive to look at it. And there's a 85 K100 out in Grand Junction, CO I should look at while I'm driving around the state I guess. There's a senior Tech at the Denver BMW dealer I know. I should pick his brain to get the right questions to ask. It's worth buying lunch or something for that. I guess I doing some tech reading on this after work tonight.

A couple of questions to be sure to ask is about clutch spline lube, if/when is was done last.
As well for the final drive splines if you are looking at a mono-lever bike.

Is the bike a daily rider, or how long has it been setting with gas in the tank rotting the rubber bits.......
