Unfortunately so far my fellow traveler has neither shown a lot of enthusiasm in riding the scooter, nor taken much interest in the maintenance, so here I confess: the SWing's days are counted. I consider selling the bike instead of relocating it to Vancouver. Selling would mean mo' money for the Beemer piggy bank, not selling would mean additional moving cost, but I got a two wheeled ride when I get to the coast... However, I would really like to get that Beemer one day, and well, maybe a small 50 to 150cc scooter only to zip around in town. Not sure yet what to do with that touring-scooter...

ReplyDeleteI was doing some Googling and have an opinion regarding the ABS light. I think it is because your sensors are dirty and when the ECU comes up to speed it can't get info from the sensors to set themselves. Without reading those slots in the wheel the ABS won't function. It has to determine the speed difference between the front and rear wheels and it Can't.
On my Kymco I remember that one of the speed sensors wouldn't read as they have to be very close to the rotating disk, the one with the slots. It might be something as simple as moving the sensor a bit closer to the disk. There should be an adjustment, mine only requires a Hex key (I think). What I did was take a piece of paper and folded it a few times to act as a spacer. Then loosened the sensor and jammed the paper between the sensor and disc and re-tightened the the sensor adjustment screw. I'll bet there is mud or debris covering the sensor(s) . . .
