Is this an early prototype LC?

A low battery can throw this fault up, how old is your battery.

If you have servo brakes your ABS is probably heading south. However, the speedo sensor in the back axle is a common culprit for the error. It's shockingly costly for what it is but used sensors are likely to let you down even from reputable suppliers.

If the servo is failing the bike works fine without though you wont have ABS. Contact James Sherlock for ABS delete kits and do some searches for more info.

As a start, change the brake fluid a couple of times to flush the old stuff out of the servo.

Check the wiring connectors at both ends. but don't be surprised when the servo pack up.
