ABS Modulator - Removal

Warning - General - Stabilise Motorcycle

warning
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.Do not support the motorcycle on any ancillary component, the exhaust system or any other non structural parts of the motorcycle frame.A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.An unstable motorcycle may fall resulting in motorcycle damage, serious injury or death.

Perform the following operations

Perform the following operations:

Seat - Remove L Series

Battery - Remove L Series

Fuel Tank - Remove L Series

warning
Before the disassembly of any brake lines in the ABS hydraulic circuit, always mark their position so that they can be returned to the same position when assembled.If the brake lines are incorrectly assembled the performance of the ABS system will be seriously compromised, leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
warning
Do not allow the brake hard lines to become bent or kinked during ABS modulator removal. If the brake lines are bent or kinked the performance of the ABS system will be seriously compromised, leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
warning
Make sure you do not damage the brake pad material when you move the brake pads.If the brake pads to come into contact with each other or sharp objects, the material can crack or break.Damage to the brake pads may result in reduced braking efficiency Failure to follow the advice above may lead to loss of motorcycle control which could result in serious injury or death.
notice
The ABS ECM is an integral part of the ABS modulator.Do not remove the ECM from the ABS modulator.If a new ECM is required, repair is by replacement of the ABS modulator and ECM as an assembly only.
notice
To prevent paint damage, do not spill brake fluid onto any area of the bodywork.Spilled brake fluid will damage paintwork.
