That could liberate a few quid...

My K1100 had the ABS gubbins removed, but the computer is still there.

Looks like used ones sell for almost £300. Hmm....

 

.... for a proven working one though.

 

I'll get my man to test it...

There's a reason the ABS was removed, you know.

 

and he say "arrrrhhhh!!!!"

 

Fucked pumps because someone couldn't be arsed to change the brake
fluid regularly, would be my guess.

 

the pumps **** up even with regular fluid changes - wanky design IYAM.

I've had several cars with ABS. None of them specified annual fluid
changes. None of them packed up after 5 years.

Not that I GAF about the ABS as the brakes work fine without it.

the bongos:

Yes: 15kg of complications.

 

Until you have to stamp on the brakes with all your might on almost
fresh crosshatching on a rainy night because some SMIDSY arsehole pulls
out straight in front of you.

The K1100 has a different design ABS and I've had several with working
ABS that lasted a lot longer than 5 years.

BTW, recommended brake fluid interval on cars is usually
annually/biannually to. Brake fluid absorbs moisture, especially in a
somewhat damp climate and that can/will corrode the brakes internally
sooner or later.

 

I bet all of 'em specified biannual fluid changes - and the reservoir is
far better protected against the elements on a car than on a bike.

 

well,

a) I posted that at 9:40 yesterday &
b) I haven't really had much of a drink at all in in over 3 weeks now.

you're forgetting the golden rule that stuff I post on here if for /
my/ amusement, not yours or anyone else's.

FWIW the post you're denigrating still amuses me, but if I took the
time to explain why, it'd be neither amusing or a good use of anyone's
awake-time.

 

Well I got it, although I thought you were just channeling ogden.

 

well, yeah, he's definitely a (bad) influence on this one.

 

Clearly you *will* be at odds with Champ then.

 

I'm generally happy with my lot, despite the rubbish info the quacks
have been feeding me over the past few months, but at least Champ's
got his happy satisfactory and non-confrontational relationship
situation to fall back on.

 

I didn't think we were quite so settled^h^h^h^h^oh you mean F, yes I'm with
you now.

Mindewe he does have to cope with the Veggie thing.

 

really? I thought he'd given up being a **** and shagging OPP years
ago.

 

No he fucking can't. This is a respectable, text-only newsgroup.
