ABS light remains on

[SteveButch]

Morning people, has anyone else had the ABS light remain on after the start up check and move off ??

I have removed and cleaned the wheel speed sensors and rings without success. I have a GS-911 that shows no fault codes at all.

Any help appreciated

Do you use paddock stand which fits in steering stem/column?

 

[SteveButch]

Hi AJJ, i do use both front and rear paddock stands but the front is lifted from the bottom of the forks

Oh, OK.
I had similar issues and it was due to break in sensor cable where the front brake distribution block is. Under the lower triple tree.
Just to verify there is no brake, manipulate the cable in that area to see if it goes out. Where it is cable tied to the brake line.

Cheers, all is good in that area.

Shame that did not resolve it.
I would be tempted to replace cable and check again. If you do this don't bother running it up the brake line and along the rad to verify. Also check the sensor ring, so that there is no damage.

Where are you based, as I have spare cable?

if it was sensor related, then the traction light would stay on.

And cruise control would not work.

Had it when I put the front wheel in back to front, also loosening the wrong side axle pinch bolts giving a wrong pick up gap, damaged abs ring,(only needs a mm or 2 run out)
