OK, my 93 with ABS is the topic.
ABS unfunctional, after a few troubleshooting episodes. Want to, maybe this spring, pull the ABS system/ piping aka plumbing.
Why am I thinking, maybe not thinking, if I purchase a SSteel kit for a non ABS K11 of my vintage is an easy way of getting all I need in a package deal, for the conversion. ? This seems too easy.

Any idea why it doesn't work? Pull codes?

If you want to just get rid of the ABS, you could certainly do that. Never looked to see if there's a non-ABS kit available.

Or, if it's the module, you can send it off to Module Masters (Idaho) - they fix, rebuild, repair modules... they also sell refurbished modules on ebay.

"Recently was in need of a BMW ABS-DSC Module. I acquired it through eBay from Module Masters. Ordered it on Tuesday, it arrived on Thursday. I installed it, coded it and my lights were out and ABS was fully operational." random internet review

Steve- where are you in NH? I am just above the Franconia Notch.

Before you eliminate the ABS, have you looked at everything?

A '93 K-RS, huh? Color? And, if you don't mind, where did you buy it?

I do all my own work on my '92 K bike. In my garage I have a lift and a pretty good shop set up. My previous K1100RS was a '93.

Hi guys...
Hey,, thanks for reviving this ABS topic... I've got taped over lights and a non functional ABS that I got to work again for a brief period of time... BUT NOW, this reminder is telling me to get my ABS II to Module Masters !

Best regards all,, Spring is almost here!!

I got fed up with the ABS and removed it years ago. Took off 20-25 lbs of hardware. Only remember buying a new rear brake line.

Re removal...

At Progressive the ABS drops my premium by $100 plus I like the added feeling of "control" for safety reasons.. I'm going to do the rebuild trick at Module Master....$350...... even though I gave serious thought to doing exactly what BobZ did. That ABS-2 is the worst!

Best to all.... Ride Safe.../ Ernie in NH
