Took in my 2011 VV today to the dealer. Been having intermittent ABS issue where ABS light would stay on virtually all the time. Occasionally, the system would work. Actually, bike was this way when I bought it with 6K miles. Took the bike in today to the dealer to have the error codes checked so I could fix the issue. Tech found metal shavings on the front speed sensor as they are magnetic. Once the shavings were removed, the ABS system works perfectly.

Didn't see cleaning the speed sensor as an option when searching the Service manual or forums. Thought I would pass this on in case some one else runs in the same ABS symptoms.

I do not have ABS but your speed sensors "read" the speed of the ABS rings attached to your wheels on the left side? Look on your swing arm and front fork for them, there will be wiring from the sensors back to the ABS module. Hope this helps.
