    Everything has been fine with my VFR800, 2009. Then today, after maybe 5 minutes driving the Red ABS light starting flashing.

    I tried the brakes, seems OK, continued on.

    Stopped for gas, start out, light goes off as usual, then a few minutes later it begins flashing again, brakes are working fine. No other problems have been noted.

    Tried a search here, no result for the malady.

    Any ideas as to the situation?

    Tnx

    The Factory Service Manual has an entire chapter on troubleshooting the ABS system. The FSM goes through the detailed steps required to determine the source of the error code you are receiving. The ABS light it's very similar to the FI light for the fuel system, number and speed of the blinks will indicate the source of the error. Get yourself a factory service manual and just follow the procedure.

    You are correct. I will follow the Service Manual. Was just thinking that perhaps a member had the same recently, and what the solution was. Maybe it is a rarity happening.
