Default Burnout and ABS system

I tried to not post the question but really couldn't find an answer elsewhere so here we go!

Each time I do a burnout, my ABS light won't go turn down off when I'm done.

I need to turn the engine off and on again then the light is normal.

Any idea why?

(SERIOUS QUESTION!)

I would think the computer is comparing the speed of the two wheels, seeing a your doing a burnout the rear wheel is turning and the front isn't hence the light.
Are you drag racing? or is a burnout just a normal daily thing for you?

I agree and it probably thinks that the system has failed and that's why it needs to reset. If you keep doing that pretty soon you will be worrying about a lot of other things that may have broken or gone haywire. But it's your ride and you can do as you please. Enjoy

The light wont go turn down off eh?

Can I make a prediction? In the near future you'll post asking what that loud metallic clanking noise from the front of the engine is coming from.

Yea, if you watch closely, you can see the "red hot" (radial tire) belt come off and flip under the bike.
