Brake issues on 2009 c14 abs
R2pittman:
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Going to try and make this story as short as possible. The other day while riding I was going a little too fast coming into a corner and pressed really hard on the brakes and the back brake would not disengage. I loosened the bleeder valve on the rear caliper too release the pressure so I could drive the bike home. Several months later I thought I would try and fix the back brakes tonight as I just changed the front brake pads.
To start of the bake brake pedal would not move at all. So I loosened the banjo bolt inn the rear master and tried the pedal and it went down just fine. Tightened the banjo bolt back up and opened the rear bleeder valve and pumped for like 5 minutes and only a few drops came out of the rear bleeder. Checked the rear reservoir and it was full.
I am suspecting the ABS pump might be bad but not sure. I wouldn't bypassing abs as I can't seem to find a cheap pump, just not sure what the best way is. Not really sure where to go next. Thanks again
Freddy:
The earlier ABS units (non-linked system) seem to be more susceptible to failure due to poor maintenance. Mine did that 9 years ago and there are similar reports from time to time.
Here's a fix. I am the seller and have sent a couple to USA in the past. Contact me by PM if interested.

R2pittman:
The link says no results found, is there a way to bypass the abs pump?
Freddy:
Try this one:

Yes, it can be bypassed - if you don't want ABS, but not recommended for obvious reasons.
R2pittman:
Another question, would it be possible to bypass only the back brakes since they are not linked?
