I couldn’t find error code 30 in my service manual (2006-2007), but googling says it’s a problem with the tip over sensor.

When you rode the bike, were you able to activate the ABS and feel the pulsing in the brake lever and brake pedal? That’s the only way to know the ABS is working.

Yes, clean the sensors because the magnets pick up iron dust and that can interfere with the signals. Also check for any stored ABS error codes. Good luck.

According to the service manual, if the ABS light flashes while riding, there is no problem with the function of the ABS. However, the ABS ECU input has unstable factors. The only good news is that Yamaha claims that the brakes work normally when the AbS fails.

Now with around 15,000 more miles on Ivan’s flash and an update. Still running 87 octane gas without any pinging or problems. Spark plugs don’t show much color on them, but no signs of detonation. Engine still runs great at any rpm or throttle. Excellent gas mileage 45+mpg. Easy to manage rpm at...

Besides Freeze Off spray penetrant, use a hand impact driver. The hammer blows loosen the bond and help to prevent rounding off the head of bolts...

Yesterday I rebuilt the rear caliper, and this one was easier than the fronts. I removed the caliper and kept the brake line attached and elevated the caliper higher than the ABS pump. That way, air bubbles don’t go down the line. Pumped the brake pedal to push out the piston and tied down the...

I never activated the ABS on the road in the 47,000 miles I’ve ridden it, bought the bike with 38,000 miles on it in 2019. I flushed the brake fluid with the ABS jumper once before. It wouldn’t be terrible if the ABS doesn’t work as long as the brakes are reliable. I might get my daredevil buddy...

The electric shift bike will throw an error code on the dash if the ECU detects a problem with the clutch or shift mechanism, and prevent shifting. Do you see error codes flashing?

Thanks RossKean for digging up those threads. I’ll do some more testing next week with pedal stomping.

Maybe not over the speed threshold to activate ABS. I don’t understand why there is a minimum speed. Seems counterintuitive to let you lock up the brakes at any speed. The service manual doesn’t mention a minimum speed requirement - or my old eyes didn’t see it.

In any event, the bike has a firm lever and brake pedal, so it appears that there’s no trapped air. There’s no ABS warning light or stored error codes. However, I can’t feel the ABS pulse while riding no matter how hard I try to brake. I’m going to rebuild the rear caliper next week and see if...

I activated the ABS pump by using the jumper on the connector by the battery. Yes, that pumps the old fluid out and exchanges it for fresh fluid. But, does that bleed air out?

Yesterday I rebuilt the front calipers on my 2006 AE. The service manual says you need to bleed the ABS when you open a brake line, but don’t outline a procedure other than system tests. So far, I’ve bled the front master to calipers, and now will bleed the rear master to front right caliper. Is...

Thanks RossKean for the detective work and providing the Suzuki part # for the seals. I figured out the calipers are split by taking a good look at them.
