ASC and ABS waring lights

Post by pencile »

I just changed the front tire on my 2014 1200rt. On the first roll out of the garage I noticed I didn't have any front break.  After pumping the brake a few times it seem to come back ok. I then started out and the bike felt like it wanted to buck..just a few times then it quit and soothed out and started to act normal.  But now I have an ABS self Dia warning light (solid) and a ASC slow flash self Dia warning.  I tried turning off the ASC control and restarting to avail.  Any ideas on what to do ?  Honestly, all I did was change the front tire!!  thanks!!

Has the front wheel ABS sensor got damaged.

The ASC works by comparing the speed of both the front & rear wheels via the ABS sensors.

Did you take the ABS sensor (LH fork leg) out before removing the wheel?

well after closer inspection, when they changed the tire the sensor ring got bent back quite a bit somehow.  I took the tire off again and took the ring off and between a few friends, it looks a lot better than it for sure.  (until I can get a new one)  I put it back on but won't try it until tomorrow.  The sensor itself looks ok.  The funny thing is the speedometer was working just fine the whole time.  Also I noticed the cruse control did not work.  I hope I don't need a GS-911 to clear the computer!
