After getting 1995 K1100LR started, I had no rear brake and very little in the front. After reading how many removed ABS, I ordered new braided non-abs hoses for the front and a chinese rear master cylinder and hose for the rear. I disconnected the battery, then removed the Type 2 ABS pump and control unit under the seat. I also removed the sensor harness and mounts for both wheels. I pulled the single blue abs relay and removed a heavy wire that carried 12v from the starter relay to the abs unit. I didn't try to separate the abs wiring or remove the large connector, but covered the open area with electrical tape.
I installed the fuel tank and battery and now when I turn on the ignition key, all looks normal; the fuel pump powers up, but the starter doesn't spin the engine over. It's in neutral, the side stand is up and I don't see any loose connections. I didn't remove anything in the gauges area. Could removing abs cause this? Any ideas?
