Hello, I've had the "blinking ABS lights" problem on my 98 K12rs ever since I ran off into a ditch and got the back wheel going faster than the front.

the ABS lights wont reset when I restart the bike and I've been reading other posts about adjusting the sensor gap. I think I may have messed up the front sensor when I took that trip "off road."
Well, I went to do this today and noticed on the sticker on the fork leg that I need to take the gap reading where the paint dot on the toothed ring is aligned with the ABS sensor. I spun the front wheel around a couple of times and lo and behold I have no paint dot on the toothed ring! I looked again for a punched divot or anything that would indicate that it is "the spot." Nothing.

Can I just take the gap reading from anywhere?

Tarren,
There will be a very faint green dot somewhere on the toothed ring. It marks the spot of 'closest' clearance. You can find it yourself by using different thicknesses of gauges. Once you find that high spot, set the minimum clearance there.
