Just installed a 21" DNA wheel (came with ABS bearings installed). I'm 100% sure I installed the ABS bearing to the correct side (left side - thicker bearing). When I took the bike for a test drive the light goes off, however under medium braking I get a random pulse like the ABS is working. I'm also using the same rotors. Any ideas? Do I need to reset my ECU? Maybe a bad ABS bearing?
Update: Pulled the abs fuse and the issue goes away. So I'm thinking it's got to be 1 of 3 things.
1. Abs bearing is bad or installed backwards.
2. Sensor is damaged or in the wrong position. Maybe dirty?
3. The 21" wheel speed is effecting the abs.
What's weird is the light goes off when it starts to move. And it doesn't blink when I can feel it activating. Any thoughts?

I went down the street with the bike off and the brakes work properly but without the ABS assistance.
Next step is to test without the ABS fuse.
It's really weird not present the ABS light on or any DTC code in dashboard.

I had this happen to me when i bought a 21. they put in the drag specialties knock off bearings and ABS light would not go out. I took the wheel in to the dealer and had HD OEM bearings put in and voila. no more trouble. cheap to do. I complained to vendor and they actually credited me for it after showing them the receipt.

The ABS light is designed to flash until the bike starts moving for the first time after it is started. So if that is the only perceived problem it is working properly.
