... Front wheel speed sensor open or shorting.

Any ideas? Sounds like a trip to the dealer. I'd rather not go there after the last time. I may take it in to the only other dealer in the area about an hour away if I really need to. My ESP is expiring in June.

 

look on the left side of your steering neck. u probably have a broken wire on the harness side of the front wheel speed sensor connector.

it seems to get pinched there often.

 

Had the same issue last year while on a trip, took it in to the nearest dealer and they found a pinched wire, fixed and on the road in about 2 hours.

 

You can't see the wire broken because it is only broken inside. The insulation will be fine. It is right where the cable tie is. Maybe it is too tight. That's where my problem was. Good luck.

 

Thanks,
I'm going to look closer this am, last night I looked at the connector with a flashlight it looked ok but I did find a cracked wire near the zip tie, It is a coaxial cable that I figure must be the antenna wire. Will update later.

 

Thanks all, It was a broken wire right under the zip tie, Took me about four hours to fix but I pulled the fairing the tank, bags and sidecovers and did some cleaning while it was stripped naked. The antenna didn't survive, going to order a hidden fairing one.

 

I just bought mine and that light is on, But the brakes work so I'm not too worried about it. Never had ABS before anyway.

 

a friend says his abs light comes on when he starts it, and then goes off after a little while of riding. he says thats the way its works. any ideas?

 

It should be flashing until you hit about 2 miles an hour.

 

That is what it is supposed to do, if "little while of riding" is like 10'
