I've just bought this bike to replace my written-off 1200ST - it has the earlier, 'whizzy' servo brakes. I'd intended to have the system removed at the back end of the year, the ST didn't have it, and it seems overly-complex and expensive to sort should it go wrong......which brings me to my question! I have searched, honest, but couldn't find an answer, feel free to make derisory comments if I missed it.....
Anyway, the bike's been riding fine, no issues, no warning lights. I've been in the garage today, fitting a Garmin powered mount - I found the GPS socket, connected an adapter to the mount's wiring, plugged it in, put the Zumo in the mount......turned the ignition on.....no power to the mount would you believe, but that's another story.....the servo made its little whizzy noise, and I caught the brake lever with the back of my hand, making it whizz a bit more. Ignition off, check wiring and connections.....ignition on, short whizz.....red 'brake failure' light comes on and flashes once a second. Not noticed it doing that before. Switch off, back on, same again, its flashing all the time, and when engine's running, there's no warning triangle though, that goes out.
Have I buggered something up? Or does that warning come on every time and go out once the bike's moving....I can't recall? Yes, I know I could go out for a run, but I can't be arsed to put the gear on! Handbook says it means 'ABS function unavailable in at least one brake circuit'
