    Could be a number of things! If its still under warranty then call the dealers!

    i have to agree, if its under warranty then its just not worth fiddling with it yourself

    There is a number of reasons for it to come on ( including a wheelie) but normally it won't go out until you get it cancelled out.
    This involves bridging the ABS plug in the rear seat unit, and then turning on the ignition, whilst squeezing the front brake....... Etc but you are best taking it to your local dealer.

    No problem, hope it helped. The reason it comes on after a wheelie, is the front wheel slows down when the front is in the air, so confuses the speed sensors. This comes up as a fault.

    Has it stopped working or do you just have a warning light with no other symptoms?

    If the light came on, & is now on all the time (even after turning the ignition off & back on), it may be a power fault; check the 10amp fuse under the riders seat.

    I assume you know the light will stay on until the bike is moving; it usually goes out at approx 8mph?

    If the light is flashing, the system is in fault mode & the brakes are working in the conventional way. This is what can occur after a good wheelie but switching the ignition off & back on should reset the system allowing the cabs to control the braking again.

    I think you have a power failure to the cabs; you could try locking up the rear to test it.

    I'm just guessing based on my own experience with the system.
