Been quiet for a while, as all has been running nicely....until....
Not ridden the bike for a month. Trickle charger on Newish gel battery. All seems very strong battery-wise, spins away and fires up first touch. Problem persists after long run to make sure she's topped up.
Senario is this. Bike starts, normal check lights sequence. Roll forward, lights go off as per normal. But. Back brake normal operation, front residual only. If I pump/hold the front lever long enough, I get 4hz top flash and solid General warning. At which point both brakes work "normally", i.e. with servo assist. Can also get ABS to let go if I use both brakes, but not on front only. Which is weird, as the fault code for that config is "at least one circuit in residual only". Which neither are?
Checked rear light bulb etc - all normal. Cleaned ABS ring and sensor and checked clearance - all seems normal.
I have noticed: Rear brake give immediate "normal whine" when depressed. Front however, operates immediately, but if held on, seems to "wind up" from low to high pitch, as if the pump is working up to normal?
What say the collective wisdom of this knowledgeable board?
Oh, one more observation. SWMBO very....."cool", on the idea of chopping in for a new 1250...
Cheers all.
