Hi
I don't remember the significance of flashing versus always on abs lights but first check the tail light bulb isn't blown.
On my old K11RS there was a straightforward ABS reset sequence using a short length of wire to earth the 3 pin plug behind the left hand side panel. I'll search it out for you - if someone else doesn't pitch in soon

In the worst case; a dealer can read any logged error to diagnose the problem e.g. the abs controller or the modulators - one associated with each wheel.

Don't go getting a new ABS unit yet.
There might be one coming off my K75 RT next week or so as it's being triked and rear ABS will be removed..

These explain it. Yours will be the ABS1 system

I have abs 1 on my k100rs, i`ve removed the brain from the tail unit and the rest will be going in the bin(ebay) as soon as i can get a day off to have a new brake line made up.

you may want to check if you have the correct battery for a abs bike first and if you are keeping it on the bike make sure its in good conditiion.

The reason I`m removing mine is it saves 10kg and its unreliable and even when working its crap, it will allow a wheel to lock for far too long and is nothing like modern abs which seems to work just before locking up, if you want a laugh look up the price of the abs units.
