Recently purchased a '02 LT w/ 29K mi. Getting an alternating ( 1 sec flashing ) general warning light & ABS brake failure light when braking at anything more than light stopping. Can pull over, turn bike off, re-start bike and lights re-set until another med or hard braking situation. (lights will not come on under light braking) Tried using front brakes only under hard braking only once did lights start flashing. Tried using rear brake only, lights flashed immediately. Front brake reservoir is full, rear looks to be 1/2" below MAX line. Local dealer (185 mi away) service dept. stated to check rear pad thickness (measures 3.5 mm, book states min. is 1.5mm) that as pads wear more fluid needed to squeeze pads together. However, book states bike w/ Integral ABS, the brake fluid level in the reservoir does NOT drop as pads wear.......any advice?
