Default R1100RT ABS warning light

Hi everybody. Have anyone had a problem with both ABS warning light permanently on(suppose to be blinking) when turn on the ignition? Have check the ABS relay, OK. Could it be the ABS cancel switch? Can anyone help me with this problem.

What is your battery like ? I keep my RT on an Optimate trickle charger and now have no problems with the ABS lights

The starter motor drags a huge amount of power when the engine is cold so your battery needs to be in peak condition or the ABS lights will not go out. Try using a battery stabiliser when you park up for the night. You can bet its the battery that's giving you trouble.

A battery tender from Amazon.com does the trick

Yup. Battery should be kept on a tender. Let it idle for a bit. That will do it
