Hi, i'm a fresh owner of a R1150r from 2001, that was buyed in Croatia and mainteined in service in till 10000km.
Now it has 36000km , and all the oils(motor,gear,transmition) are changed, also like sparkplugs,batery and the rear brake-pads.
everything went ok, except the rear brakes change. After the brake-pads are removed i could't push the pistons inside to put the new brake-pads so i let some brake oil out on the rear brake clipers, and the brake-pads were fited

Now , after i explain what was done the problem ocured, after ignition general and ABS light starts to flashing at 1hz.
I tried to unplug the fuse number 5, and battery disconect, nothing.

help please....

Note: I have to sinchronize TB and valves yet as a final .Front brake-pads are ok.

P.S. A lot of useful informations i found here, CONGATULATIONS!!!

Welcome aboard,

First things that come to mind.

1. Did you take it for a ride? The light will flash until you get rolling (normal operation), it stops flashing when you get to about 3 MPH (maybe 5 kmh). When the light stops flashing, that indicates the wheel sensors passed their test.

2. Is is possible you got some air in the brake system? If so, that could result in an error.

3. Did you replace the fluid that you drained? A low fluid level in the ABS module could also show as a fault.

...i just woke up, thanks for the welcome...

well, i ride it, and the lights keep flashing with 1hz ,first the general then the abs, before it was flashing only abs and as you sad after i start mouving it stoped and everithing was fine.

i was wery careful not to let the air into the system , aldough ididn't replacet the oil that i drained in the abs modul(underneath the tank,right), but i opened a litle expansion tank of he rear brake fluid (under the seat on the right side) and then drained a litle bit of the brake fluid so i could mouve the pistons to its place.

Before all this only ABS ligt was flashing until i start roling then it stoped.

.. i will check the fluid in the modul, for some air and see what hapens...
