When I rode my 1150GS less, I was used to the ABS not always engaging when I rode away as the manual says that it may not do so if the battery is low, and little use means low battery.
But...
Recently, (over the last week) I have used my bike lots and I might go for a ride with the ABS engaging when I pull away from home, but when I start up again at my destination it doesn't and I get the alternating red ABS lights flashing!!
I had ridden for about 45 mins yesterday, stopped for 15 mins and when I started up and left for home: again alternating warning lights and no clunk when I pulled away. Stopped the bike and turned the key off then on and then it started fine and engaged, clunk and all. Today the same, but the off/on trick did nothing. I pressed the ABS button once then started the bike and it was fine again .
What's going on. Is my bike faulty, or is there a knack?
