Imaginative title, I know. But my spirit is broken.
The scene: I have a 2006 K1200S. Had it a year. Happy enough with it.
A few months ago, it develops an intermittent fault, with the ABS light flashing like a Firefly on speed.
It started getting more frequent.
I pulled out the ABS Servo and wanted to send it off for a refurb. Turns out you can't refurb that model of ABS/Servo. Buy a new one. A new one costs more than the bike is worth.
Look on Youtube, and find out how to bypass it. Was never a fan of ABS anyway.
Job done, but the old ABS servo is still installed, and if I mash the back brake, it clatters and has a bit of a fit. The front occasionally surges like it is trying to remember how to engage its ABS. I'm not delighted with the result.
How feasible is it to upgrade to a unit from the K1300s? I'm told you can do it. Is it a major thing? Is it worth it?
Thanks
