HELP PLEASE: Austin TX Bound; ABS Flashing Lights

[tourunigo]

Quick Assist Question: Heading to Austin today (Monday) and have had ABS lights flashing for a while. How: left running lights on at a stop. Bike started but ABS lights continued to flash. In New Orleans I tried the 'ground center contact of connector under seat - turn on ignition - hold ABS button (8 seconds at least)" method. No change. Question: since i should have this looked at right away, who in Austin should I take it too (in the hopes that they can take the bike in right away. (BTW, we will be staying in Austin tonight so we have a bit of flex on the time) Thanks, Bob

Battery drained?

I had a similar issue with my ABS and Warning lights flashing in unison after my bike stumbled down waiting at an intersection. I found this was a low battery voltage latched warning flash. I reset the warning by your method of grounding the center pin, but I held the ABS switch down for over 30 seconds to clear it. My battery voltage was right at 12 V, instead of around 12.6. I replaced my battery. No problem since then. This was on my 92 K75S.

battery has been fine. no voltage check but no other indicators of a problem. I have had the battery quite low in the past and the lights operated normally. Plan to take it over to Lone Star this morning (Tuesday). Brakes working ok though. Thanks for your thoughts on this little malfunction. - Bob
