(New!) Topic : ABS light  Author  Post     Oak  Chaac Reg. Date  :  03/11/2011 Posts  :  551 Location  :  United Kingdom Posted : 30 Aug 2018 - 10:15   Post title : ABS light   Anyone got any ideas as to why my ABS light comes on and stays on after about a mile? When I stop, turn off and then start again it goes out as it should but then again comes on after about a mile. Thanks  Author  Post     rayglo  Jupiter Reg.

But malfunction in sensor? Has the brake fluid been serviced? Could there be a voltage problem to the sensor, corrosion etc. There are many smart dudes on this site, I am not one of them. But maybe I can get them thinking. I know that horrible feeling when something is wrong. One last question, dose your ABS perform as it should? Ok another last question, have you had you had your gas tank off recently? Good luck  Author  Post     Slcharger  Jupiter Reg.

Thanks In most cases it's either the distance between sensor and disc, or a wobbly ABS disc. Distance between sensor and ABS disc should be 0.1-1.5 mm. Use a feeler gauge to check. Disc must be straight and even. No wobble allowed. Rotate wheel (s), off ground and observe.   Big Bird, Bordeaux with " Celtic theme " Airbrush, 2010, 1700CC, ABS, 65.000 km.

I'll check the gap but no incident to cause damage or tyre change/tank removal. Strange how it works for a mile, you'd have thought that it would either work or not. When i find what it was I'll post result. Cheers  Author  Post     Bodger  Set Reg.

Could you elaborate a bit. Thanks  Author  Post     Bodger  Set Reg.

Not saying this is Ian's problem but it may be worth investigating.   I won't believe it until it has been officially denied.  Author  Post     rayglo  Jupiter Reg.

I've had the same thing happen which is why I put a voltmeter on.   Experience is something you get just after you needed it 1600,Foran Razorbacks, Meerkat bypass, Dyno tune, real headlight,plenty of chrome,switchblade pegs, Hagon Nitro shocks & Ikon progressive fork springs etc. Scorpion Western Low handlebars.

It wasn't even visible until it was removed. Anyway, replaced and working now. Thanks to everyone that commented
