I am new to motorcycles, but I am handy. I have a lead on a 2007 R1200 RT with 23,000 miles $5,000. The issue is that the owner says the ABS is non-functional. I am willing to learn and do much of the work myself. What questions should I ask? Is this a purchase you would make?

Hello everyone, im new in this website, I joined because a problem on my k1200lt 2002 abs module, when I put strong pressure on any of the brake levers turns on a brake failure indicating at least one circuit with residual abs function, the problem is only when applying high pressure on the abs...

Hey guys, Here is a new question that I have not yet been able to find in the hall of wissdom. This concerns a '99 LT that has just given the well-known ABS 1 Hz message on the dashlights. It showed up while driving on the highway, with slightly damp weather. The battery is new and measures...

Hello all, I just did some maintenance on the 20020 K1200LT which required removing the side and top fairings. After reassembly, the brakes work, but without power assist. There is a light, momentary, clacking noise in the rear brake when the rear brake pedal is used. Also there is a buzzing...

This was my dad's bike, he passed away a little over a year ago, and we would really like someone who is as enthusiastic about the older BMW bricks as he was to have this to restore and/or use for parts. It has 102K miles so it's just broken in :grin:. It's been to Key West, FL and north of...

My 2003 K1200lt has this problem where It passes the self checks and low speed test fine but about 5-10 minutes after running the brake fail light starts 4x flashing and the warning light is steady on. The ABS continues to work for a few minutes and then stops working and brakes are manual. I...

Ok guys so I'm working on my dads 2000 k1200lt with absII. The ABS has never worked on this bike from the day we bought it. The previous owner had a used unit that went with it cause the dealer said that was the problem. I swapped the units and test rode it and still had the wigwag. Took it to...

Hi. I am new here, I just picked up a used 2005 R1200RT today. On the way home, the Red Exclamation point lit up and the brake failure light flashes about 4 times a second. According to the manual, the ABS has gone into residual braking mode. When this happened, the speedometer also went...

My ABS failed 2 years ago. I tried to have it rebuilt, but with no success. Could have saved myself months of time, effort, (and a lot of money), in teardowns/rebuilds if someone would have told me that simply removing the ABS unit, and rigid brake lines, and replacing the system with one...

Tickets popped a front brake line last weekend so I bought her a whole set of new Speiglers. I installed them on Saturday, but I have air in the system that I can't seem to fix. Here are the symptoms: 1. No power to the ABS - rear brake works fine and stops 1/2 way through travel against the...

Today I put a refurbished ABS pump back in place of a 2002 LT of a friend of mine. I bleeded the brake circuits as followed (and according the cycle: pull the brake, valve open, valve closed, loosen the brake) 1. from the front brake to the pump on hand pressure 2. from the rear brake to the...

I dread writing this post given all the other posts and videos on this topic. I've replaced all my lines and have the integral ABS on my 03, with the tall ports on the side, facing the rear. However, the fact is I'm stuck and frustrated need to confirm the correct sequence of what to do next...

I have a 2004 K1200LT I bought used 2.5 years ago and am the third owner and likely the first to take care of it. Upon purchase I (with the help of my bike savvy neighbor and the BMW K1200LT Manual) I spent the winter going thru the bike changing fluids and checking things out. Learned a lot...

Hi all I have an 04 (post-facelift) LT with the Integral ABS (BMW front calipers). A couple of days ago, whilst making a u-turn, my front wheel skidded on some mud at the edge of the road and I dropped the bike onto its right hand side. I was effectively stationary and no (more) damage was...
