Hello, wish i was here to celebrate the purchase of a really nice low mileage 2004 1150rt. However, I am here to sadly say i recently purchased a really nice low mileage rt with iabs failure. Test drive was fine, but after a longer drive home from the purchase, the failure light came on with the 4hz flash and general light on. If the bike sits, i can get the lights to clear and even had it clear and work fine on the way to the mechanic. I had a local independent bmw mechanic do a full flush on the system and had very dirty fluid. After the work, everything worked good until about 30 mins down the road on the way home. The lights come on, the front still has servo assisted braking, but no rear servo assist. Eventually both go into residual mode. The code thrown states high pressure in the rear circuit. It has the original rubber hoses.
I understand there may be an opportunity to have a rebuild by module masters, but am concerned about future failures. I am considering removing the iABS unit, but have not been able to find a comprehensive procedures with clarity on having to re-wire or not re-wire for brake lights.
Any information on iabs removal for a 2004 rt would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Travis
