Default Changed brake pads... ABS light flashing
I changed my brake pads today, and rode a few miles to get some oil, then came home and changed oil. I started the bike to let it run for a minute and the ABS light came on and started flashing. I was careful not to yank on the wires when removing the calipers.
Anyone else have this happen?

Yep, you just never noticed before. If its on when your moving there's a problem. You can do a search for codes and get instructions on how to check them.

Here's a how to from our fiends at Fuelmoto.

Default ABS light
Don't feel bad, I changed my pads about a month ago. Started the bike and saw the light flashing and thought I broke it. **** happens.
