Just a word of caution having done this- an 1150RT is an old bike, and as long as you have things apart, I highly, highly recommend you replace your brake hoses as well. I found out the hard way, my front brakes absolutely locking up in a corner and causing three cars to narrowly avoid me as I fought valiantly to keep the bike upright, that hoses deteriorate from the inside. Did the increased pressure from the new system act as the catalyst to this event? I dunno. I nearly lost my life due to this oversight. Whether the lockup under power, which seizes your engine, toasted my drivetrain? I will find that out in upcoming months.
Great video. I have a 2002 R1150RT that I am about ready to perform ABS removal on, being that my model is identical to yours, 1. could you please confirm that your have had no issues with the speedo and brake lites working, also 2) did your servos just stop working altogether (that is what mine did, no other symptoms)? Thank you!!!
My servos gave out when I was coming to a stop. All my lights and spedo work. ABS warning light is on, removed bulb. Replaced all lines with galfer stainless.
I have a 2004 R1150R with failed ABS. I did exactly the same bypass with front brake and servo unit. Breaks work well without the servo. However I have no brake light or speedometer? Any suggestions, I'm at the end of my witt's.
I deleted my 2002 R1150R 3 yrs ago and had no issues at all. 4000 canadian for a new one and about 1100 can for a rebuild with a very long wait. It stops perfectly. You have to maintain the circuit board for the lights and brake lights. Its well worth the effort.
I don’t understand the situation described by the person below who nearly got themselves killed. Is that bad riding or the bike? I ride other bikes and have ridden loads without any ABS and never locked the front up in a bend. Pappa- do you think you could describe in detail what it was exactly you did with the electric unit you removed from the ABS module? That would be amazing thank you.
I think it's less a problem with the ABS and more with the specific stock rubber brake hoses. It's common for people to advise changing them to steel braided because they fail.
I have a 1997 R1100R. Is the electrical part of this the same for my bike as it is for yours? What I'm asking is will my brake and tail lights still work? Thank you, and thanks for the video.
Bonjour Le feu stop fonctionne apres avoir couper les fils electrique de la centrale ???? , bientot en France le controle techinique pour les motos va etre obligatoire , sans ABS je doute qu,elle passe le controle .
This method also works on the K1200RS. By separating & retaining the electronic module, the lights do work. Cheers.

They are all galfer now.

@@PappaKosta Good to hear your lights and speedo work... thanks for the quick reply, now a lot less nervous about this!
HELLO WHERE DID YOU FIND THE SMALL U-FORM TUBE TO CONNECT THE FRONT PIPES?
You just make them with some brake line and a flaring tool.
I replaced it with a new set of brakelines custom made
I have a 2004 R1150R with failed ABS. I did exactly the same bypass with front brake and servo unit.
Breaks work well without the servo. However I have no brake light or speedometer?
Any suggestions, I'm at the end of my witt's.
Did you reuse the module on the side of the abs unit?
@@PappaKosta yes and sealed it well.
Try reading this ... hope it helps... www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php/232002-Simple-NO-COST-servo-removal-of-1150-IABS-system
@@PappaKosta the electronics were done since the speedo quit working before removal.
@@andrewcmarino Andrew did you figure this out?
Thanks for the vid seemed like that job was pretty involved
It kind of is, but it's more time consuming than difficult.
where can i buy that U pipe in front
I had to order it from the UK, I don't remember but it was called an "abs bypass fitting" I believe.
All that just to get to the abs part geez o weez
Yes, I wanted to show all of it so people would kinda know what they are getting into.
Bon,cette opération semble très efficace,mais sans parole, et en englisch. ...J'avoue qu'elle ne m'aura pas été très utile à regarder. 😩
You are on drugs working that fast.... Ha ha. My ABS is still working on my 2004 R1150RT. I just replaced the brake lines, pads, bleed and flushed.
Geht doch!
Nice. Snap, same colour as mine. In process of crap rider anti lock control removal.👍😊

No problem, can you send a pic of your brake controller box? I'm 99% sure they're different.
@@PappaKosta Will do. Thank you.
Bonjour
Le feu stop fonctionne apres avoir couper les fils electrique de la centrale ???? ,
bientot en France le controle techinique pour les motos va etre obligatoire , sans ABS je doute qu,elle passe le controle .
J'ai utilisé le boîtier de commande afin de conserver la fonctionnalité du feu
Une partie de la boîte est divisée en deux
