I have a 2009 with the ABS warning light on. Slammed on the brakes and the ABS is definately not kicking in. The 911GS says that the ABS pump is defective. I looked up the pump on the BMW website and it's over $2K. Could it just be an electrical problem. I'm about 4 hours away from the nearest "stealer" although I plan on getting there in the next couple of weeks. Is it just one pump for front and rear brakes? Any one else have any experience in the dept.
ABS not working

Where are you located? I like money pits and am looking for a 4th R1200GS.
Start with comprehensively flushing/bleeding the brakes. If you don't have a GS911 tool its a good investment. Hook it up and see what faults/codes come up and see if you can clear them. Take the bike for a ride and see if you made any headway. If not time to call Module Master or sell me the bike for cheap.

My 07's ABS is not operating. Turns out to be the electric motor. The brushes are know for hanging up. If you rap it with the handle of a screwdriver the motor run under diagnostic then as soon as the test is over ant the motor turns off it locks again and goes into fault.
Not sure I'm even going to get Module Master to fix it. While the $250 is reasonable the shipping and $2,500 in insurance really racks up the money.
For those who want to skimp and not fully insure it the ABS unit, if the currier loses the unit sourcing a used one may or may not work as the bikes ECU may not recognize it. The best bet is having it fully insured for replacment valve so a new unit from BMW can be installed and have the dealer program it to your bike.
