Problem with bike

[Citydave]

Hi
Had my XR for 4 days, done 370 miles. Last night riding home from work the ABS light started to come on for no reason. A bit further into the journey everytime I went over a bump or through a hole in the road surface the lights went out and o lost all of the display on the dash. The bike cut out on six occasions and eventually the engine management light came. I managed to limp the bike home and BMW have now picked it up to have a look at it.

Any ideas anyone, I have the feeling it could be a major problem

two things come to mind, an engine ground wire was loose or a battery terminal was loose. Also, could be one of the main linbus connectors has a faulty pinout that needs to be fixed. Sounds electrical to me and not mechanical. Time will tell.

Thanks Fasttrak, hopefully it is nothing serious, I love the bike. I will let you know

Cheers Dave

Let us know what they find.  We'll all be waiting to hear.  I'll echo FastTrack and suggest they will get it diagnosed pretty quickly.

It turned out to be loose wiring leading to the ABS unit. Went in the following day and was repaired, rides like a dream

Pretty much what I figured and an easier repair for the shop to get you back on the road. Glad to hear no major disaster.
