2007 R1200RT


(non-servo ABS system)


I am starting to get the red "brake failure" warning text appear on the dash, when riding. it goes away if i stop and restart the engine, but comes back after 10-20 mins of riding


i've read a few forums about this and it could be....


- low battery voltage
- bad ABS unit (expensive to fix?)
- low brake fluid
- old/bad brake fluid
- bad ABS sensor/wire
- something else??


i have't used the bike in about 7 months


does anyone else have any insight into this?

Could be a number of causes, I’d suggest getting a diagnostic test done to isolate the fault.
