Funny thing happened today. I went to leave work and the ABS light started flashing and flashed the entire way to a convience store by my house. I was a little worried that I had brake failure of some sort but the bike seemed perfectly fine. I stopped for some adult beverage and when I went to leave lo and behold the ABS light went right out as it should. Do I need a new Gremlin bell or should I look at other causes?

Chances are it was some dirt at one of the sensors (front or rear), may be a connector if you have recently been working on the bike

Even with an ABS failure you will still have normal braking, only without the ABS function.

When my ABS started blinking, it was the first indication that my battery was discharged due to a short.

Battery was just replaced. I'll take it out today and run it for a few hours and see what happens. Dang, I hate it when I'm forced to ride on a beautifl summer day..... :wink:

I just had the same thing happen to my bike. Started about a month ago and occurred twice. I took it on to my dealer and they said since it was not doing it at the time I brought it in, they couldn't diagnose it unless the light was actualy flashing at that time.

I just took a 400 mile trip and it happened again for no reason.
