BMW R1100 ABS re-set turn flashing lights into ABS /

Your ABS lights start flashing intermittently one after the other instead of flashing together. Mechanics tell you you need a new ABS unit, or major work on systems. Either way it is going to cost. This is what they do, to revert back to the correct sequence of flashing. It takes three minutes, and costs £0 Yep nothing a big ZERO!! Watch and see if it could help you with your bike.

Bloody hell that sounds fun!!!!

I had this issue with my K100LT, if you changed the battery then this would be an issue. Slightly differing in approach but the local BMW garage had the same spiel.

Yes, all manufacturers have spent ages trying to make systems which we can't 'adjust' meaning we have to go to them and give them vast amounts of cash for them to do a 'secret' trick. Nowadays they sell you a machine, then after a trail period, they delete all the 'bells and whistles' unless you PAY them a subscription!!!! Thieves. Just one reason why I would never buy a new machine, (car or bike)

Thanks for the video, I tried this before (gonna do it again) but didn't work for me last time. Does that mean that there is something wrong mechanically with my ABS? Started for me when I disconnected the front sensor to replace the front forks.

This is the way we used to re set the ABS after doing any work that was necessary, or if it went AWAL. Remember to leave the ignition on when you release the switch and earth connection. It should go straight back to normal (unless there is a problem with the ABS) I have never worked on a bike that this didn't work on, as it is the BMW way (they used a switch which did the same thing) If it was working OK before you disconnected the front sensor, or unless you broke the sensor, it should work.
