My bike is a 2002 R1150RS. Through this forum I connected with someone who sold me a used, correct model ABS pump to replace the one I had which worked only for the front brakes.
My mechanics have been struggling with getting it to work, they sent this message "We have been able to get the bike to have brakes, but the replacement ABS pump is constantly partially running, like the pump reservoir has trapped air. James has bled it multiple tiles, in different manners to get it to stop, but no avail. It isn't expelling any air anymore, but just isn't quite right. We fear both pumps are not good. The most straightforward approach now may be to eliminate it all together, or install your old one so you can send back the other one to the seller. We can disable the lamp by pulling the relay and that will still allow the power assist to operate. The scantool we are using is not the GS911 but the OBDlink MX+ with Motoscan software. We had picked up a different dongle initially, but it was not able to send and receive long chain commands, which limited the interaction ability with the bike. We can scan the system completely now, but there are no codes that are coming up for the ABS system. Let us know how you would like to proceed with the brakes."
So, is there a procedure that's being missed? How would I verify that the replacement pump truly is failing?
I'm reluctant to bypass, but it may be my only option. New replacement is too expensive and rebuild isn't available within the next year (I've checked).
I'm grateful for assistance.
Thanks.
Jeff
