What is/are the symptom(s) of the failure other that total wheel lock-up?
I have been having a problem with my 93 that my local shop can not identify.
The problem is that over a period of several months the rear brake fades
away to nothing (pedal to the ground without slowing the bike). We found
that there is air in the hydraulic system. The curious thing is that there
are no obvious leaks and the fluid level does not drop. Air just gets in
(like magic). After bleeding the line, everything seems normal. The problem
progressively reappears over next several months.
I almost never use the rear brake but when I do it would be nice to have it
there.
I have not tested for the total failure (lock-up) but will do so once the
weather clears (it seems to rain all year here in Portland).

What information could you give me (if any) about premature ABS failure
on the GTS 1000. My ABS failed this year along with a friend of
mines........ His bike is scheduled to go in the shop Monday morning
3/6/00. Both bikes have approx 25-35k miles on the odometer. Any help
would be appreciated........ no indication of a problem from the
indicator light on the dash...... just total wheel lock-up !!!!!
Thanks,
