Like you stated, alternating ABS warning lights are a good indicator of a battery that nearing the end of its service life. I usually just ride about a mile then pull over and restart the bike without any further issues.

Another GREAT video, thank you! Your videos have taught me so much! Words cannot express my appreciation for your time and efforts and imparting of knowledge. Every one of your vids is clear (easy to understand) and oh-so-helpful. David

Kevin you are the man!!! I just kept turning my bike on and off until the light went away! Now I know what the problem is

[ollieaudi]

Great video . Methodical in the procedures, an absolutely pleasure to watch. Your videos break down the sequence into easy follow steps.

[Johnnysday]

I’ll try this procedure later this afternoon when the pavements dry. Many thanks look forward to learning a lot from your channel

You star..someone on YouTube that makes a

I hope this applies to the ABS light and the Information light acting the same way. What a great channel. Thank you.

Gouden tip net gedaan probleem opgelost dankjewel voor je info gr Jan Hendrik....

I found a good solution someone else suggested. I have an extra relay to turn on the ABS system which is activated from voltage from the alternator.. so the ABS only comes alive once the alternator is producing power (which will be after any voltage drop caused by the starter motor)... has worked fine for 7 years now... as for running diagnostics, there is a wire under the seat you can connect a small LED light to, that will give a code, 1 thru 7 flashes if I remember to tell you what the fault is.. it will be on the Internet..

Thanks! I just bought my bike and this was my problem but now hopefully I can finally stop being paranoid about my bike thank you

[MasterOfNothing]

Brilliant! Thank you so much! I was having a intermittent issue with the abs lights. The battery is old and my trickle charger is saying its now weak, so this all makes sense. Hopefully a new battery will sort it. Cheers again from the UK. 👍

In my experience on my 1997 K1100LT, replacing the battery has always solved the problem. But the jump start trick is handy if you really want ABS functional until you get the battery. I just rode w/o it cuz hey, I'm old school. 😁

[jeffmullinix]

That is a cool trick and logical . I can see how this works in my head . I understand it completely and clearly . I thought that BMW did not recomend jump starting their shaft drive bikes . They said it could damage the diff ring gear . This is what a BMW shop told me Good shop or bad shop I dont know .

[carsyoungtimerfreak]

It is also possible to modify the wiring, I did see a video about this. I have this problem only in winter when the battery (which is brand new) has less power. I normally ride till the engine is warm, stop, turn it off and start it again. Usually that works well also.

[celsius]

Thanks for this, I'm looking for an oilhead but am worried about faulty/expensive ABS, this trick will help..

[michaeldobson]

There is also a static method to reset the ABS fault. It requires you to insert a jumper and holding the ABS switch down. There is a sequence but i cant remember the sequence. It was on the K1 site a few years ago.

[skulbak]

Great vid, ultimately the battery will need replacing

[jonnyspitfire]

Great test, think that's where my RS is at.. will give it a go..
