Poor man's ABS code readout - similar to pre-ODB2 Chrysler vehicle (uses a blinking light)This is for those that don't have an extended warranty. Pretty sure you can't get it (extended warranty) if you're not on the three year warranty or currently on an extended warranty.
- Remove the seat
- Ground the self-diagnosis terminal A (Gray) to the ground terminal B (black/yellow) using a jumper lead
- Push and turn the Key Knob to on
- Count the blinks of the light to read the service code
- For instance 13 would be blink pause blink blink blink
- This would indicate a problem in the rear inlet solenoid valve (shorted, open, stuck)
The ABS issue is not common, however it's very expensive to fix.
Wow, , very interesting thread, , yet disturbing!
So out of curiosity I just had a look through my service documents. The original p/o had the clutch/brake fluid systems flushed in 2012 at 15.2k miles. Bike currently has just over 20k. I haven't noticed anything weird relating to the brake (abs) system. The lines are original, , and the rest master recall thingy was done also.
I will monitor this, , because I like to STOP just as much as I like to GO. Not too surprising Kawasaki would bury their head's in the sand on this. Can you say expensive, , and " appears we have a problem " admition.
Some poor sap will be killed or mangled before something is done, , which is unfortunate/ sad.
Hello Kawasaki USA/ EU/ AUS. Time to pay attention!
This could be ugly. G. in Vegas
I thought he was still talking to max.

Max can read that too.
Max really needs to get this done..
The rear brake locks up?
Well aware of that Freddy, but most aren't and thank you for bringing it up.
Did not know about the 2 bleeders. Any good write ups on brake r and r?
