I finally taxed the bike yesterday after recently buying it... So I could go out for a ride... and so off I set, i travelled a small distance just in case of any miss haps, all instruments and lights were working perfectly, abs lights went out and triangle light went out when brakes applied.. after 25 miles all was ok, a nice ride, silky smooth gear change, engine sounds good apart from the overun at about 2500 rpm and theirs a noise like 2 knuckles grinding for a slight second or two but goes away when accelerating or it drops below 2500rpm, but its their when setting off once warm as well, Thought it may be chain?. Anyway I got home still all ok.. later that evening I went for a another ride in the darkness on the motorway for another 50 or so miles.. And so set off from Sheffield and arrived tother side of dewsbury at a mates place (everything still ok)... now after a few hours I decided to head back, Now did all the idiot checks, then proceeded to start the bike????? she wouldnt start so messed with the choke... she still wouldnt start, so left a minute and then full choke and she eventually sputtered into life, (now I have noticed when riding around especially on overun their is a strong smell of rich exhaust gases? and so proceeded to set off and the ABS and triangle light on (flashing) so pressed reset button and it was contantly on for about 10 mins or so and then flashed again but didnt go out on the journey back.. but I checked brake lights to make sure they are working, now I have noticed since I have had this bike I have never heard the ABS working (buzzing Squeeling sound.. so my question is can you reset the system so it works for a certain mileage (ie best practice for selling) and then it rears its ugly head after a while??? because that is what I think may have happened to me.. even when I went to view the bike the abs light went out, but defo didnt hear the modules working when brakes applied.. Can anyone shed any light on this... I know their are topics on ABS and I have read them, I have also been on fc2.com and had a read.. So im going to test the brains and circuits to see if i can find any fault codes, but it seems strange that the ABS light have come on permanetly after about 50 miles or so, thats the bit I cant get my head round!!! I have had a look at this site Rick G
