HI MY BIKE IS A 02 PLATE 1150 GSA WITH ABS.THE PAST FEW WEEKS ON SETTING OFF THE ABS WARNING LIGHTS DONT ALWAYS GO OUT,BUT AFTER STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE BIKE AFTER SETTING OFF AGAIN THEY GO OUT, BUT NOT ALWAYS AT THE FIRST ATTEMPT
HAS ANY ONE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IS IT EASY TO SORT OUT
IE RESETTING THE ABS IN SOME WAY
CHEERS GRAHAM

NO NEED TO SHOUT

Possibly low voltage/power in the battery

 

[Colban]

How old is the battery?.Do a search as its a common problem.
Something about voltage drops during cranking confusing the ABS electronics.
Fix is a new battery.

Cheshire batteries in Crewe do the Hawker Odessey's but they aren't cheap. About £85 IIRC.
Alternatively do a search cause some have bought a battery from ebay account in Germany for half that, and have had good success.
The terminals on the Odessey are shite, but the battery is very good.
