Will anyone in the USA rebuild the ABS control module?

[ThrottleItOut]

I currently have no rear brakes, and have confirmed that the ABS module is at fault. I've called a dozen shops specializing in ABS module rebuilding here in the USA, and all have said they either don't work on this particular module or don't work on bikes at all. People on other sites have said they've had them rebuilt locally (not in the USA). Has anyone found a source to rebuild our modules, either in the USA or at least willing to ship back to the USA?

I did not, I installed a new one. $1200 going from memory.

 

[ThrottleItOut]

It looks like ECU Testing out of Derbyshire (UK) will do it, so I'll probably go that route. New on Rocky Mountain ATV (cheapest I found) are going for $1600 now.

 

[patrickg450]

well I have my old one in my garage, if you have some good results please share them.

There are many bikes out there you can get one from a junk yard.... My thought is, there are "totaled" bikes that have been bumped by a car that might be one or two years old. The insurance has written them off... The ABS pump would be virtually be new. It would take some looking, but certainly not that hard....

Some one bypassed the unit and turned their bike into a non abs bike. A little brake line plumbing and they were back in business. What fails on these things?

YES,

the thread is about by passing the rear on the abs pump with 2 u bends and so you have a good rear brake with no abs and just abs on the front

[Fennellg]

Is it possible to bypass both?

 

[Cycledude]

Seems like the manufacturer should be required to repair or replace ABS pumps under warranty but maybe not because they are still building cars with steel brake lines that rust away pretty quickly and cause accidents

 

[WJBertrand]

I wonder if one can just order a rebuilt unit somewhere instead of repairing your old one?

Been on the thread now about 6 years and this is a recurring theme. My 2013 with 50 odd k miles on the clock at the time, went about 2 1/2 years ago. As with everyone else, the back went first. After replacing the rear master cylinder twice, just went for the 'race setup' (laughable description on this bike).
I've no ABS (TCS unaffected) but have to say don't miss it so far, 35 years of bikes without it anyway. Brakes are sharper, with better feel, and my bike bike simply wasn't worth the cost of a reconditioned let alone a new pump!
I left the unit connected to the electrics, so no warnings.
Up to your selves obviously, but 20k later I've no regrets.

for those of yo in the States, did you report the issue to NHTSA? Corp Yamaha will NEVR do anything on their own.

Part of this is that the ABS units (A) develop internal corrosion from (B) moisture in the DOT4 brake fluid since it is hygroscopic and (C) lack of use/cycling the system.

Regularly hit the brakes hard on gravel or grass to exercise the pump an entire ABS system.

 

[blitz11]

Amen to cycling the pump. any chance i have, either on the s-10 or Duke 690, if i see gravel at an intersection, on goes the ABS. I also change fluid annually using the pump cycling jumper too keep things with fresh fluid. (I also replace brake fluids in the cages every other year - the 1992 Volvo with 400K miles is on the original pump - it helps that the ABS is exercised every time i drive it in the snow.)

 

[scott123007]

I have twice changed the fluid in eight years, but only the master cyl., lines and calipers, but ALWAYS exercise the ABS. Another fault point is the plastic container that the ABS pump sits in. There is a drain hole at the bottom that must be kept from clogging (enlarging it is best) or it can fill with with water, and has been known to ruin the pump.

 

[WJBertrand]

I think the ABS pump is active during normal braking in order to perform the linked braking functionality. I’m not sure activating the anti-locking function either by extreme braking or cycling the pump is necessary? Frequent fluid changes are for sure a good idea.

Right you are (again) that the pump operates normally per pages 1-8 to 27 of the Service Manual, but reading it for the first time in years makes me think the real problem may be nay of a number of other components in the assembly which come into contact with the fluid. In addition to the ABS motor and hydraulic pump are no less than 5 other valves (book says 4 then shows 5) and the pressure sensors. Some of these only actuate when the anti-skid function acts and if ANYTHING in the system doesn't work right, the assembly goes inoperative, leaving the rider with conventional brakes. i.e. The front and rear operate on their own.

I'll keep exercising my ABS regularly because the source fault could be one of those valves that only actuate with it.

My rear brakes seem to have the same issue suddenly like all the descriptions in previous posts. My mechanic has replaced the rear slave valve, changed and bled the systems multiple times done the ABS pump cycle only to have rear brakes good for a day or two before going all soft. Last resort will be to by pass the ABS pump (deciding) do you recon there is no issue as to not have the ABS pump replaced (also very expensive exercise that i can ill afford).
