Long time no talk! To catch everyone up, I was loving my Rockster...I put 23k miles on it in about 2 years took it to canada, mexico, Grand Canyon, smokey mountains...everywhere. Then a Deer decided I had it too good and ran into me. In short, the bike is totaled.
I found another Rockster near by...I want another rockster. Everything looks good, minus the Servo Brakes.
The current owner hasn't ridden the bike in about two weeks. He started up today and the ABS does its initial self check and turned up no problems. All the lights went off. However, when he hits the rear brake when riding. The brake failure light comes on as does the ABS warning light. Also, When he hits the rear brake the servo fails to engage. The brake light functions properly, turns on, turns off and is not on all the time
He says this is never happened before. He says he put a new battery in it about six months ago and it's a weird offbrand he believes it's a gel battery. He currently has it on a trickle charger. (I'm hoping it's the battery)
Any thoughts on what the problem could be? So I'm not sure if it would be the switch. Wholesale servo failure. Lack of brake fluid.
Keep in mind, that I have my wrecked rockster but I can steal parts from. But, if I know what the problem is I should be able to pull off the parts I need properly.
A little more info on the pike: he thinks it'sa gel battery (he knows it's not an acid battery at least) it had steel brake lines, has not had brake work or servo work done in the last two to three years.
I was going to pick it up tomorrow. However, it's 6 hours away... So I'm trying to decide what to do! Thanks in advance
