    Trying to get to the bottom of my ABS light problem. Can anyone tell me / measure the gap between the ABS sensor & the ABS ring front & back. My ABS light keeps coming on & I think I may have moved the sensor when I used my front paddock stand.

    Maybe you should short the ABS diagnostic plug under the battery, this will give you the fault code so you focus your investigations.
    On starting does the ABS light extinguish as so as yo move off but then flashes on first application of the brake?
    'Sometimes' you just need to reset the fault.

    ABS light goes out once above 6mph but will randomly come on again whether I use the brakes or not. The only way to get rid of the light is to switch the ignition off & back on again.

    spec in the manual is 0.4-1.2mm so there's a lot of allowable variance.
