Re: non-ABS instrument cluster replaced w/ABS - brake lights ON

Besides a few instances of wire breaks/shorts due to the tight zip ties, the bikes are tough, so don't be discouraged. There are two potential wire harness rub points under the tank - one on left side that contacts tank, and the other is adjacent to battery tray on left side. But guessing your symp...

Re: non-ABS instrument cluster replaced w/ABS - brake lights ON

The green-yellow wire should be connected at terminal marked 54 of tail socket; that’s the brake light circuit. Brown ground wire at terminal 31. Remaining tail light wire to 3rd terminal. If it was me, I’d buy a used front brake switch assembly (switch, harness, connector). Easy install and eBay c...

Re: non-ABS instrument cluster replaced w/ABS - brake lights ON

I can't offer specific help, but I've been looking into removing the ABS system from my '04. Reading online articles and watching youtube videos, several people have remarked about some wiring change necessary to prevent the ABS system from reading failure or non-setting of ABS after removal. You m...

Re: non-ABS instrument cluster replaced w/ABS - brake lights ON

thanks sweatmark - Yes. What you might do next: A. Key switch on - I assume the brake lamp switches on with key switch; confirm either way. Disconnect the front brake switch wiring pigtail connector at front subframe. Brake light might or might not turn off. Confirm. If yes, then replace brake switc...

Re: non-ABS instrument cluster replaced w/ABS - brake lights ON

a) removal of fuse #1 did not affect the brake light steady-on state. b) if i'm hearing what you're smearing, and what i'm reading on the site, it may be that: -wire casings (under a too-tight tie, perhaps) somewhere along the brakelight wire (gray/yellow) travel path have disintegrated and the brak...

Re: non-ABS instrument cluster replaced w/ABS - brake lights ON

Search here for "zip ties too tight" or "cut zip ties" for info about potential R1150R front wire harness damage. I don't recall a ghost brake light problem, but the front brake switch wire does run through that location. Your instrument module install might have bumped a broken...

Re: non-ABS instrument cluster replaced w/ABS - brake lights ON

Thanks for input, Sweaty Mark... Only the instrument cluster wires and instrument cluster changed. I presume that means the new connection was "a repair replacement for original non-ABS harness." (And I'm only guessing that the harness/ABS is a factor.) The "new" instruments and ...

Re: non-ABS instrument cluster replaced w/ABS - brake lights ON

Umm, I must not have been clear... I'd prefer to have brake lights when I apply the brakes. Currently the brake light is always on... I have checked the sensors and brake levers... I'm guessing the ABS harness/instrument cluster is confusing my non-ABS braking system and it's responding with a "...

non-ABS instrument cluster replaced w/ABS - brake lights ON

Replaced instrument cluster on my '03 R1150R without ABS with an ABS cluster and harness... Brake light stuck "on."
Can I clip a wire on the harness to turn off the search for ABS feedback?
Frazzled with electrical ignorance, here...
Any advice appreciated
Thanks -
Chris

anybody have a clue on who/what/where/when to buy them or why they are so difficult to find?

So my question is, where do I get the c - brackets - originally sourced directly from cee bailey - now that cee baile...

Starter/Solenoid/Relay assessment

so, my 2003 R1150R cranks, slowly, once or twice before it stops and click-click-clicks... i assume "battery" is the problem - but it's fully charged. (I take it to a shop to double-check the accuracy of my 10/2 fully automatic, deep cycle charger and they confirm it's charged) i did not &...
