So still no one to rebuild them.......
Same situation here: purchased my ’12 back in August and the ABS light is on (I knew this at purchase, prev owner didn’t pursue a fix).
I’m getting a codes for front sensor and I believe the pump unit and no change after a full system bleed and a few other checks.
However, I do hear/feel some activity at the pump when manually cycling it but it is inconsistent.
I will likely replace the front sensor and complete more tests when I have it apart this Spring for a valve check.
If needed, I will get a used unit from Ebay and I’ve seen them priced from a low of $599 to over $1500 from sellers here in the USA (new is ~$1800 or more). I also wish there was a US based source to repair these!! Strangely, on a recent ride, the ABS light was OFF which I had NOT seen before but a quick lock up of the rear had the light back on…

I have reviewed all of those pages myself....the dealer seems too eager to "throw the baby out with the bathwater" It is a lot more profitable to sell a customer a new part that has been marked up 200% and then throw 4 or 5 hours of labor on top of that than to attempt to slavage a part. I can understand their plight the internet has cut into their monopoly on parts and youtube offers a wealth of advice to anyone who has a modicum of mechanical expertise. Volume sales and sorry customer service is the apparent trend at the stealerships.Yup, I've started watching some ABS related videos as well and I would venture that there is nothing unique about the Super's ABS unit except that it's on a motorcycle and it seems nobody tests/fixes those.
However, my Yam shop manual has many pages of test procedures I can complete so perhaps I'll find something I can fix... if not, I'll continue to watch Ebay for a reasonably priced used unit.

What if they throw 4-5 hours at trying to fix your ABS pump and they fail, then they have to charge you another 4-5 hours to do the repair the correct way plus the cost of the new part. They might also get the pump working with that 4-5 hours worth of labor, but maybe it fails again in short order. They know these scenarios are going to piss you off and they are making the correct recommendation to go with a new pump and that repair should come with a decent warranty as well..the dealer seems too eager to "throw the baby out with the bathwater" It is a lot more profitable to sell a customer a new part that has been marked up 200% and then throw 4 or 5 hours of labor on top of that than to attempt to slavage a part

That makes sense however, this should be a relatively objective procedure that could be accomplished in Ann hour or so.What if they throw 4-5 hours at trying to fix your ABS pump and they fail, then they have to charge you another 4-5 hours to do the repair the correct way plus the cost of the new part.

Ok, then get it done!That makes sense however, this should be a relatively objective procedure that could be accomplished in Ann hour or so.

Voice of experience? I'd say it's an hour just to get the unit out and then back in without bleedingThat makes sense however, this should be a relatively objective procedure that could be accomplished in Ann hour or so.
Absolutely.....judging from your initial measured response and your last snappy retort you are more than likely a franchisee that monitors this site. It was an unleveled playing field as long as everything was controlled and metered from the mother ship. If someone has a modicum of mechanical aptitude tney can accomplish a lot.Ok, then get it done!
