Hi
I am now the proud new owner of a 2003 BMW R1150GS with 48740miles. It is very clean and I paid a very good price (3000$CAN) for it. Of course there are a couple of issues that I wil need to adress. I have some backlash and some bearing play, so a final drive rebuild is scheduled for this winter. As to my actual problem, it has to do with the ABS system. First, when I start the bike, the "brake failure" light flashes, but as soon as I get underway it disappear. Secondly, My brakes make a whining sound when I use them. I think its the ABS pump but im not sure. Brakes works when im riding, but the sound is always there. Here is a link to a video that I took this morning after starting the bike showing the sound it makes.

Hope you can help me diagnose my problem and looking forward to riding my new BMW!
