GS911 code read required for brake failure

Hi All
Having browsed this forum for a couple of years since buying my 2007 RT, I could do with some help and advice
I need to get my fault codes read for an intermittent solid brake failure light and wondered if anyone knows of anyone in the Midlands area who provides this for a reasonable fee, I would rather avoid going to BMW for the priviledge, having been to them for some recall work my bike initially left with more issues than it went in with!!
Having researched this I've checked all the easy fix possibilities without success so would like to get any error codes read before delving deeper.
Many thanks
Rich

Does 2007 have servo brakes?

Hi
Also have 07 1200 rt, and had same problem, 07 RT is known for this issue. I repaired ABS (I am a little of mechanical), based on this,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m2H-nC0CqE, and some other videos, it is better than cca 1200 eur for new pump, after repairing my bike,it runs without brake problems for three years.

Yes I suspect I have the same issue, the repair is doable for me, I just want to get the error codes checked first.
Can I ask what method you used to remove the bearing from the pump and how you secured the motor can back to the pump

There is a company in the US called module masters, they can rebuild your ABS unit for $350, google them. Several car and bike friends have used this company and have been very satisfied

Bearing removal was a hard work. I ruined bearing due to remove it, with angle grinder i made two holes and with extractor removed bearing, and replaced it with new. Motor secured with four M 4 screws with washers bented down une third of diameter, so that bented piece hold tight body of motor can. Attached photo where I drilled hole and made M4 thread, in red circle. Sorry my techical english isnt good.
