BMW in their wisdom built an awful lot of bikes with servo assisted Abs brakes. It seems like a huge amount of these servo units have failed, and been bypassed.
I would be very interested in speaking to one of the people on this forum who have had a bike like this, declared this "modification" to their insurer and continued to have cover.
I asked Bennett's if they would consider insuring me in these circumstances. They said they would discuss with my underwriter. I realised just how ridiculous and unlikely it must have sounded to them "well, the servo is removed from the brake system to avoid brake failure and that means the Abs no longer works either. No, BMW don't do this and wouldn't warrant it. Yes, it's a modification to the braking system by someone else other than the manufacturer.."
No wonder they have not got back to me
