ABS MODULE FOR THE F SERIES

F Series models compatible with this repair

Each card shows the braking system fitted to that variant. The F 800 GS and the F 800 R appear twice because they changed unit midway through production, and the F 650 GS because that name was carried by two different motorcycles: the 652 cc single-cylinder and the 798 cc twin.

WHY DOES IT FAIL?

Symptoms of a faulty ABS on the F Series

These are the warnings we hear about most from owners of the F 650 GS, F 700 GS, F 800 GS and F 800 R. None of them leaves you without brakes, because here the module doesn’t assist the braking: it leaves you without anti-lock, which is worse to discover.

Warning light permanently on from the moment you switch on the ignition

It doesn’t flash and the self-test never starts: the unit isn’t answering the ECU. When that happens, the sensor isn’t to blame and the module is.

It flashes first and then stays on

The self-test starts and stops halfway. On the F 800 GS and the F 700 GS it is usually the wheel sensor, its cable or the reluctor ring, which is much cheaper to rule out before removing the unit.

The warning light doesn’t go out above 5 km/h

On the F Series the self-test finishes as soon as both wheels turn. If the warning light is still on at walking pace, the system has already logged something and has gone out of service.

You lose the anti-lock function

When the module fails, the system is disabled and the motorcycle brakes without ABS regulation. In everyday riding it can go unnoticed: you find out when braking hard on a wet surface.

Pump hum outside the self-test

The short click when you switch on the ignition is normal. A hum that doesn’t stop with the motorcycle stationary is not: the pump motor keeps trying and ends up failing completely.

Chafed front sensor cable on the F 650 GS

It runs down the fork and takes all the chafing. The 2000 and 2001 models have the sensor shielding unbalanced and are the ones that lose the most signal; from 2002 onwards BMW changed the wiring.

It went out after pressure washing

The jet gets in through the module connector or the front sensor connector. At first it causes faults that go away when it dries; once the corrosion sets in, the warning light no longer goes out at all.

The ABS cuts out when going over a speed bump

A reluctor ring with dried mud between its teeth, or a sensor that has lost its gap with the jolt, sends a signal the module can’t believe and it switches itself off until the next time the ignition is switched on. On the F 800 GS it happens more after off-road tracks than after tarmac.

A single ABS module for the whole F Series

All the ABS units the F Series has been fitted with, from the F 650 GS to the current F 900, are repaired the same way.

  • 2000 – present

    BMW F Series ABS module

    On the F Series, BMW didn’t develop its own ABS: it used the Bosch ABS modules available at the time each motorcycle was built. The first arrived in 2000 with the F 650 GS: it weighed 2.1 kg, the heaviest of them all, and its functions were very basic. Since then each generation has reduced its size and added functions, from the switchable ABS of the F 800 GS to the ABS Pro of the F 750, F 850 and F 900, which takes the motorcycle’s lean angle into account.

    Why a single moduleThe size, the part number and the number of functions change, but they are all two-channel Bosch modulators with the same internal architecture: circuit board, valve block and return pump. The repair process is the same for all of them, so we group them into a single BMW F Series ABS Module, with the same price and the same turnaround whatever the year of your motorcycle.

    ModelsSingle-cylinder F 650 GS and Dakar, F 650 CS Scarver, F 800 S, ST, R and GT, twin-cylinder F 650 GS and F 700 GS, F 800 GS and Adventure, F 750 GS, F 850 GS and Adventure, F 900 R and XR, and the current F 800 GS, F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure.

    What fails insideThe board’s tracks and capacitors after fifteen years of thermal cycles, the hydraulic unit valves seized after a winter laid up, the return pump motor and, on the F 650 GS, the connector entry taken over by corrosion.

    Estamos muy satisfechos con Nito Motor.
    Teníamos un problema de Módulo de ABS en una Volkswaggen Caddy 4 Motion del 2014, ya revisado por otros profesionales del sector, sin solución ninguna, precios desorbitados y con muy poca información del problema, sobre todo para explicarle al cliente.
    Cuándo contactamos con Nito Motor, me sorprendió que nos explicaran tan claramente su método de trabajo y los posibles fallos de ese módulo ABS ( fue muy fácil explicárselo al cliente ) y así fue:
    Nos llamaron, explicaron el problema, lo solucionaron y además nos dieron consejos para poner en marcha el vehículo.
    Después de su revisión/reparación y nuestra programación electrónica el vehículo ha vuelto a funcionar sin ningún fallo de ABS después de 2 AÑOS!!!
    Muchísimas gracias al equipo Nito Motor, ya que esa Caddy ya tiene ITV y vuelve a circular por las calles.
    Nuestro cliente y nosotros estamos infinitamente agradecidos.
    Un saludo.

  • javier arostegi

    Respondieron amablemente las dudas por teléfono. Reparación en un par de días. Seriedad y profesionalidad. Exactamente lo presupuestado. Ya he pasado la ITV. Lo recomiendo.

  • MotoCenterActur Taller

    Todo perfecto, ya llevamos unos cuantos enviados a reparar y lo hacen rápido y bien, una vez montados funcionan correctamente.

  • Fernando Bocigas martin

    No le doy más estrellas por qué no se puede. Llame por una avería muy común en las BMW (módulo Abs) me corria un poco de prisa por que tenía un viaje y se lo comenté se lo envié y en un día y poco lo tenía reparado y preparado para llegar y montar. Profesionales de verdad. Un placer

  • Juanma Hernandez Vasco

    Professional and friendly service. A 10.

    Die Abwicklung der Reparatur meines defekten ABS Modul (2003er BMW R1150GS) war sehr einfach, schnell und kompetent. Wenn man auf der Website den Reparaturauftrag erteilt hat, dann sollte man einen Screenshot vom Auftrag machen, denn ich habe keine schriftliche Bestätigung erhalten. Ist aber kein Problem. Achtet auf die Preise - auf der Website ist Netto angegeben, kann überraschen, weil wir es in D nicht gewohnt sind, mit Nettopreisen einzukaufen. Incl Transportversicherung betrugen die Reparaturkosten somit ca. 900 Euro, deutlich günstiger als andere Angebote. Das Gerät würde pünktlich, wie vereinbart, von einer Spedition 2 Tage nach Auftragserteilung an einem Mittwoch abgeholt und nach Spanien geschickt. Am folgenden Dienstag erhielt ich bereits die Info, dass die Reparatur fertig gestellt wurde. Super schnell. Ich habe überwiesen und den Screenshot der Überweisung mitgeschickt. So wurde das ABS bereits am darauf folgenden Mittwoch zurück gesendet und war am Montag wierder zu Hause. Das Ganze dauerte keine zwei Wochen. Das Gerät funktioniert wieder einwandfrei.

  • Jesus Prieto

    Well, 3 months ago they repaired a Seat León module for me, and from the very first moment they treated me in a super professional way. They were quick with the repair and practical with collecting the part and delivering it. No problems so far, I recommend them one hundred per cent.

  • Rafael Furtado

    Impecáveis na reparação do meu módulo ABS, do meu astra GTC foi necessário uma nova peça na qual fui avisado previamente,em todo o acompanhamento.
    Obrigado

  • Marco Pérez Rodríguez

    What can I say about these guys… nothing but kindness and professionalism; whatever problem you have with your module, they give you a solution and guide you towards the best and cheapest option for me. A 10, I recommend them without hesitation, with my eyes closed

Frequently asked questions about the F Series ABS

Permanently on from the ignition without ever flashing means the self-test hasn’t started: the unit isn’t answering. That points to the module. If it flashes for a few seconds and goes out once you pass about 5 km/h, the self-test has completed and there is no fault to look for. And if it flashes and then stays on, it has started and stopped halfway, which is the pattern of the wheel sensor, its cable or a dirty reluctor ring. You can see the difference within three seconds of switching on the ignition, and it saves removing a unit that has nothing wrong with it.

Because what breaks on the F Series is, above all, the electronics and the valves. The units from the 2001 to 2005 F 650 GS reach us with worn board tracks, capacitors out of tolerance or a corroded connector after years of water and vibration. Those from the F 800 cope somewhat better with humidity, but they stop for the same reasons after fifteen years. From 60,000 km onwards, or after a long winter without starting, the proportion rises sharply.

Yes, and on the trail bikes in the series it is one of the cases we see most often, because the front sensor and its connector are within reach from below and take the full force of the jet. The water gets in and for a few weeks the warning light comes on and goes off depending on the day. Once the corrosion sets in it doesn’t go away: the contact loses cross-section, the signal drops and the module logs a wheel code that isn’t the wheel’s fault. If it reaches us early the connector is cleaned and it recovers; if it has been going on for months, the moisture has crept up the harness to the board and the tracks have to be rebuilt. Both are included in the repair.

The most common thing is that the valves in the hydraulic unit have stuck and that the brake fluid, if it is past its date, has absorbed moisture and started attacking the inside. And there is a second suspect that costs nothing to rule out: the battery. A weak battery after months laid up can’t deliver what the unit demands when you switch on the ignition, a voltage code is logged and the system switches itself off. Before writing anything off, fully charge it, change the fluid and read the codes: on the F 800 that is more than once where it ends.

Hardly ever: on the F Series the fluid passes through the unit and is bled at the callipers as on any motorcycle. We only ask you to run the cycle with a diagnostic tool when we have had to open the hydraulic unit, and in that case we’ll tell you in the report that comes with your module.

The repair costs around a quarter of the price of a new unit. What’s more, we repair yours, so it comes back with its coding in place and doesn’t need to be paired with the motorcycle again: fit it, bleed it and off you go.

Yes. We cover all three stages of the series: the two-channel modulator of the single-cylinder F 650 GS, Dakar and CS; the units of the F 800 S, ST, GS, R and GT and of the twin-cylinder F 650 GS and F 700 GS; and those of the F 750 GS, F 850 GS, F 900 R and F 900 XR, with ABS Pro on the ones fitted with it. Each group goes on a different bench, because a 2002 unit isn’t validated in the same way as one with cornering ABS. The repair comes with a one-year warranty.
