    Good man, excellent comprehensive video covering how to remove the servo pump.
    I had exactly the same as your bike with literally no rear brake, absolutely no failsafe mechanism, which is a bit of a howler mistake by BMW.
    Got my kit from Motorworks today and have the bike converted and bike back together, took about 4 hours to strip and rebuild.
    I actually prefer the positive feel of direct line brakes, and at least I have the confidence to commit to cornering again, knowing that I'll have a back brake again.

    Tanks it was very helpful I just did this to my R 1200 GS that has the same ABS....since I did not have the kit that you use I use the original pipes and use then to link the parts. I have a pipe fitter so I am able to use it. Then make a plate to cover the electronics hope all will go well...

    Nice job. I just had my 2006 R1200GS brake pump fail while I was riding along. What stupid system to fit to a bike. Typical BMW over engineering. When I scanned the fault. It came up with multiple codes relating to the rear light open circuit and abs pump module. I was going to do exactly what you have done there and bypass the abs pump. However after investigation I found out that my rear light was corroded internally and shorted out the abs module. I found that even after repairing the fault and clearing the codes, the pump still wouldn't work until I disconnected the battery to reset the ecu. It's all working perfectly again now. When it fails again I'm just going to bypass the whole rubbish dangerous system.

I am planning to do the same with an R1200RT that I didn’t buy yet so I had no idea what I ll be finding under the plastics. since I will be replacing the frame and tank I thought the newer models will have too many parts that will make a custom frame hard to put in place comparing to an R100. Now I got an idea on what I ll be dealing with. Thanks for tripping it down :)

    Dear Martin, Thanks for your great tutorial video on how to do the abs bypass, I have a 2005 R1200RT which almost killed me due to the abs brake failure so decided to do exactly the same ectomy as you did.
    There's one thing that I don't understand about the size of the crash washers used for butting the banjo bolt, could you please tell me the size of them. I will start placing orders for the parts to bmw motoworks once I receive the guidance from you. Thanks again for your great works, you might save life's for what you did.

      Didn't have to slice any wires, all switches and both wheel ABS speed sensors stay in place as they also feed info for the Speedo.

    • @martyshep99

      You should get any error codes by scanning the bikes ECU with motoscan or GS911 and that will point you too a culprit. Do check the front ABS sensor wire to see if it has chafed on the wheel or disc, there was a recall to fix that where it was cable tied so it doesn't touch any moving parts.

    Hi mr. Martin. I have the same problem with my 2005 R1200RT, rear sensor failure and i canotaj find any like this in whole internet. After you did this bypass for the abs module unit, how is the braking now? Is it any difference? I mean, do you need a longer distance to stop the motorcycle? Thank you for the video, it's awsome explained. 👍

    • @martyshep99
      @martyshep99 2 года назад

      The braking distance is same as before. Brakes are fine and just like any other normal bike where brake cylinder connects to caliper directly. Okay so you do not have ABS now, but I rode bikes for many years before ABS was around. In emergency braking you have to remember to pump just as you used to with non abs models. As long as no error light is flashing it is not an inspection failure (MOT). Inspection tester does not care it is non ABS, they test it for same minimum braking power and mine passed no problems.

      One thing I have noticed tho, is the yellow led will not light. This is because the red LED is permanently lit (although covered up) and the red LED warnings are higher priority. So although I do get the LCD displays for too high temp or fuel low, it doesn't show me the yellow. At the end of the day the red and yellow icon are to get your attention and you then look at the LCD to determine the reason for the yellow or red. Just means I need to be more attentive to the display.
