Default ABS issues, AGAIN

Almost 2 months to the day after being "fixed" my ABS light is back on when it should be off. And yes my ABS system is not working properly and the wheels will lock up if brakes are applied abrutly. Last time it turned out that the front wheel ABS sensor wire had a kink in it near the plug in part up behind the nacelle headlamp. Dealership replaced sensor/wire assembly and was back in service. Cost was $50 since I I have extended warranty.

I haven't had time to inspect the wires since it just happend on way to work this morning, but is anyone else having this problem? Seems that this shouldn't be happening. I'm original owner (04/2008) and this is only problems I've had with bike.

I have a 2010 EGC and the ABS hasn't worked since day one. The dealer has replaced everthing they could think off, and it still doesn't work. I finaly said to hell with it, and pulled the fuse. I'm almost 66 years old and have been rideing since I was a teenager without ABS, so no big deal. I got over it.

Hope they find the problem .. If pay for an option like that it should damn well work .. Only problem ever had with ABS is the Front sensor strap broke which was replaced under warranty only scary part about that is never got a warning light, but discovered it while cleaning the Bike and just pulled the fuse and took it to the Dealer ..
