Thanks for that opinion. That makes logical sense. I am hoping someone here has had this and found a solution. Anyone else?

 

I thought I recall reading something in the owners manual that discussed this issue, if you were to use anything other than stock tires.

I'm not sure I'd have the knowhow to trick-f*ck the ABS system if this is the case.......

 

i don't know if this helps but i read something about the spacers have to be on the correct side.

 

The wheel would not fit properly if the spacers were in the wrong place. ABS bikes only have a spacer on the left front as the right side spacer is the ABS pickup. If the spacers were wrong you would most likely have rotor and pulley issues with alignment with the calipers and the belt. Keep those ideas flowing please and thanks for all the ideas thus far.

 

My first thought would be to put the stock wheels back on to see if the problem went away. If it does and everything functions well with the stock wheels, I would contact the moco and see what they have to say.

If btsom and snake are correct, a new wheel ring may be needed to allow for the larger diameter tire/wheel combo.

 

If the bike were here at our shop that is what I would do.

 

Not sure if this helps because I have the stock size diameter tire on the front, I do have a 18" rear wheel with different diameter tire than stock (taller). I went for a 50 mile ride today on back roads and Interstate, 80 mile a hr. max speed. My abs light never came on.

 

might just be a typo above BUT the plain spacer is on the right and the ABS sensor/spacer is on the left. If bearings were put in to match the above wrong scenario then they in fact would be swapped and the abs sensor would be reading the non encoded bearing.
OOPs, I was speaking to the front wheel....my bad!

 

Any and all info is appreciated. Thanks Brian.

 

Yah, I meant right front for the spacer, left front for the abs pick up.
