Hello Mate well thank you for that information there. I have not got around to looking at the brakes and changing the fluids as of yet. I will keep my fingers crossed and see what happens. I am not keen to be taking it to the "BMW" service lot as its a days ride and cost an arm and a leg there, and they are not that great either, since BMW up and left the Philippines some year back
Again thanks for letting me know. Have fun Ken....

Jim hi. Any advice on a good brake bleeder kits for abs breaks? More I read into all this more confusing it all gets. Being here in the Philippines does not help matters either, lack of every thing here! Should have stayed in the UK......
Many thanks Ken

After bleeding my brakes on my gs1150 iabs 2003, all ok brakes bled but lost servo completely
on front and rear circuit,  and brake light now constantly on.
Brake failure warning on dash flashing 4 to a second
residual brakes only
Bought a gs 9-11 and although it didn't point directly to the problem it did help.
It told me that the rear brake was applied.
I looked at the usual stuff, rear brake pedal switch stuck or broke.
All pressures ok in system
fluid level all ok
Then it occurred to me that the rear brake is controlled by the abs unit
which is connected by the large multi pin plug on top of abs unit, I examined this closely
and found that when I put the large plug back on the plug actually pushed one of the pins in the socket slightly down in to the socket, so the plug failed to make a connection with the socket.
Remedy was to get my long nose pliers and just pull the pin back up slightly, connected the plug
and everything solved in a instant.
I wonder how many others have had the same problem and not found it, forcing them to remove the servo and abs, I have been reading lots of forums and lots have people have had this problem, but none have mentioned this solution.
Anyway I am now one happy bunny thank you gs 911

Hello there and thanks for that information, was interesting and yes wonder how many others around the globe might have just had the same fault.
It seems that for now all is OK. I washed the bike and in doing so also cleaned around the rear brake with a paint brush, and I thought well lets see if the problem is still there and found it had sorted itself out. So for the past month all has been OK. Hope its stays that way.
Again thanks for your information.
Ken
