 Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2009 10:38 pm Post subject: Bad ABS I Brains - repairable |
 |
|
I know a dude in Japan who will fix ABS I brains for $200. I sold him a bad one last year so he could experiment. He can now fix both K75/K100 ABS brains as well the K100RS4V/early K1100 ABS I brains.
Given the age of the components he gives a two week guarantee but I asked him if he'd do 90 days. He said another $50 for a 90 day guarantee.
I can put you in touch with him of you drop me a PM.
(Disclaimer: I don't get a commission or anything out of the deal. He asked me if he could post here and I told him he'd be viewed as a spammer but volunteered to post for him to help out people here who need ABS brain work done.)

Oh yes please mine has gone tits up. If any one knows where I could pick up an 1994 ABS11 brain I'd be real chuffed.

My 2c here - having looked into doing this here..
- common failure seems to be water getting in and the electronics dying in the resulting bath.. Even if your ABS-1 is going OK, do occasionally "pop the top" (just don't go fingering everything, some of it is static sensitive!!) and have a check. The orings are aging no matter what...
- If you do get a repair, don't assume it's going to stay; no disrespect to Duck's contact, but from
having done some other electronics restorztions recently the liklihood of a cascade failure - fix one thing, and the newer (often improved) components overstess other original parts further along... I'd guess its even more likly for a high current, occaional use system like ABS. I'd be very surprised if there would be any small repair shops out there that would give a 'usual' guarantee. Bigger shops might, at a price to cover their investment in test jigs, experience and liability cover!!
Sort of coming to the conclusion here of 'excercising' the ABS-II every month at the least, and hope that the commonality of v2 with the R1100s might make replacement more possible....
