Morning All.
ABS problems...I have read many threads on the st1100 subject and has lead me to posting this.
My story...
Purchased a st as getting old and my bent over the tank days are number’d.
Looking over the bike to give it a once over for service etc and found the alternator as read on many posts has a habit of case fracture..
And mine was no exception.
So took it upon myself to strip the back end down to get to the well fitted item in question then got a local welding specialist to do some magic as they are expensive to buy but to see if it could be salvaged.
Job done and spin freely after heat had been applied through welding process..
Re assembled as required bit by bit and greased up and swing arm check for corrosion. Alternator wires re fitters one cable and only one wire with a plastic connector on it..
I never removed the rear ABS sensor as it seemed corroded in and did not want to do any damage so as the drive hub was taken off as a whole unit and laid on carpet floor...the rest was not to bad.
Re fitted hub unit and so forth...
Re fitted rear wheel and this is where I went wrong...the ABS ring was scraping the rear sensor as I aligned the wheel up wrong so scraped the sensor and thus thought that’s done it and carried on assembly..in the end I drilled out the sensor and replaced with a second hand one thinking this was the problem...it wasn’t.
Now for the question..
Prior to the strip down all was fine....All I get now is on the dash was a Christmas tree light illuminated..
1. The yellow TCS left hand lamp is on.
2. The red TCS light flashes continuously.
3. ABS light flashes continuously one of two lights ABS1 ABS 2. ABS 1 is not flashing. ABS 2 is.
4. Press the TCS Button on the left hand panel and the flashing TCS light goes out..
I have followed the usual fault code process but this makes no changes all lights just flash..
I have checked fuse and even removed the fuse to see if abs shuts down, no change plus the 30 amp fuse on both ABS modules front and rear taken out and cleaned.
I have bled the brakes as some blogs mention excessive fluid pressure...for modulators.
And some say ABS ECU module failure fitted on the left hand side upper fairing...
After checking all this they are still flashing..all wires are connected. I got to the point of removing both ABS ECU block connectors on the unit and switching ignition on and all lights still flash...
Before is ride it off a cliff and me obviously no on it any ideas as this is just beyond normal...
Any help is greatly appreciated...
