Hi all. First time post after a lot of shadowy reading. New to me k1200gt yesterday threw a cruveball. 6 hour ride with no issues, but about 10 metres from home the abs warning triangle was solid and brake failure fast flashing. Manual says one or both circuits not receiving brake assist which was true, the back brake was cactus, front still fine.
Turned off bike then ignition on without starting and the abs did its little check, all as usual. But about 10 more seconds and the lights start blinking again and the servo motor can be heard making erratic whizzing without brakes applied. Checked the microswitches on the levers and they weren't faulty/stuck open.
Anyway, put the bike away with a trickle charger and in the morning, no issues. Rode around a bit still nothing. Battery test at a shop said all good, but charging was only 13.4V even at high rpm. Should be high 13s correct?.
So! Bad abs unit? Or abs just playing up because of low voltage? If so, hopefully not an alternator change.
Thanks all for reading. Loving the new 1200 but I miss my 1100lt every day.
