abs light on
I have a 09 street glide. The bike has abs and the light is on, but not all the time. I noticed this after changing the rear tire and putting new rear pads on. I checked everything over and double checked everything. It has had the brake switch recall done too. I'm stumped here and just checking to see if anyone else has had this problem? thanks for the help

I would check for the broken wire problem right in front of the gas tank by the neck where the cable tie is. On many bikes the cable tie is so tight the wire breaks inside the insulation. It is hard to find because the insulation is not harmed. This is the most common ABS problem.

It could also be anti seize on the rear ABS sensor considering the tire was changed and the wheel was recently off the bike. Normal ABS light behavior is to flash until you reach a few miles an hour and go out.

How do you get the codes to pop up in the gauge again? Sorry for my ignorance, thanks
