| I replaced by back tire yesterday. I had never taken the back tire off of a bike before but after reading how to do it on some of the forums I decided to give it a try. Everything went well. Took the bike out for a ride and withing a few minutes the ABS light came home. Put it on the jack that the ABS wire was laying up against the rotor and it had rubbed the insulation off to leaving bare wire exposed. My question is what did I miss? Is there a channel or something that the wire is supposed to lay in? I just let the caliber hang, and I know I shouldn't have but it didn't seem that heavy, so I didn't think it was a big deal. It could be that the wire pulled out of a channel that I didn't notice before. Or it could be that it pulled some slack from under the seat somewhere and left me with more slack at he bottom than under the seat. If someone would provide me a picture of their rear brake caliber and where the ABS line runs I sure would appreciate it. Any help would be appreciated.

Ruskin, Fl | I have to search my posts from about a month ago. I had the tire off my 2013 for the 1st and the ABS wire didn't look right. I asked and somebody took a photo for me. Turns out I had everything correct. There is a channel for the wire in the caliper bracket. After looking at it again it was the only way it would go back together if you didn't remove the retainer holding the wire. |
