How does one know whether your mechanic / workshop, who serviced the brakes on your V-Strom, actually activate the ABS pump during the brake fluid replacement. The reason for my post was to help make the members, who do their own DIY service, aware of a possible method of circulating the brake fluid through the ABS pump. From the same site that I quoted from, there are many reports of ABS pump failures. Granted the majority of the failures where related to the L2 Glee (2012 DL650), but there where a few other models listed, from the year 2012 on. The newer ABS to that of the K7 - L1 Wee. Bottom line the ABS pump needs to be activated from time to time, or it may let you down when you need it most.
