How to check ABS?

Hello!, when i turn on the ignition, the ABS lamp is on, it goes out when i start driving, but the ABS does not work when braking, the wheels are blocked and loud bangs are heard in the gearbox. How to check ABS?

Any dirt or gravel road. At 35-40 mph, squeeze clutch and cram on rear brake pedal. It will cycle the ABS. After you come to a complete stop, accelerate again to 35-40 angsin and squeeze clutch and cram on front brake, ABS will cycle. Come to a complete stop. You’ve done it!

I always told my customers to “exercise” the ABS system like this at minimum, once per month. I actually do it every time I ride for the most part.

Exercising the ABS solenoids is the best way to keep the system working as expected, this and annual brake fluid flushes which are CRITICAL.

When braking on a dirt road with the front wheel holding the clutch, it is blocked and the abs does not work. When braking with the rear wheel with the clutch clamped, there is a rumble in the gearbox, the abs does not work. What should be checked? How to check the solenoid?

Have you possibly damaged the ABS ring or sensor ?

You obviously need the assistance of a dealer on this one. You have something not right. Unfortunately I have no idea as I cannot see and ride the motorcycle myself.

Just to throw it out there.
I recently had that banging sound and also had a low rear braked pedal, turned out that when I put my rear wheel back on the bike I did not get the mounting bracket for the brake caliber lined up in the slot in the swing arm. Once I fixed that everything went back to normal

Cool, glad to hear it was an easy fix.

Is there a special procedure when bleeding the brakes with abs?
