BMW Brake failure warning light Quote | Reply

After having had my BMW 2002 R1150RT sitting for 3 weeks - I started it and my brake failure light is flashing very rapidly. I have never had this before, and the braking system seems to be responding as usual. Any thoughts? LP

If you battery isnt 100% it will show a bad ABS fault code, or brake failure light.
Do you use a 'Deltran Battery Tender'? If not, get one. When your not riding, keep your bike plugged into the battery tender. www.cyclegear.com had them on sale for $19.95, but you better hurry. They list at $29.95
