BMW K1200LT ABS Bypass Kit 

Kirk performed this with my ‘04 LT that I thought was a goner. 18 months later she brakes just as fine as all the non ABS bikes I had prior to her. If you don’t feel confident doing it yourself, rent a U-Haul MC trailer for $15/day and visit Kirk. It was well worth my two round trips from northeast Ohio! 👍🏼

I just got done a large portion of the abs delete Thanks to you Kirk. You are the man. Thank you for your videos on the K bikes. I own a 2002 K1200rs and a large portion of the work done on it is because of your videos. Keep it up!

Ready to buy my first K12 thanks to Kirk's videos. The ABS was the main system I am concerned with. Kirk's experience shared here is a gift to the community. Thank you.

Technicians are gifts. Very Gifted.

I want to leave here my thanks to SER ILLUMINADO kIRK'S MOTORRADA SHOP, my Bmw k 1200lt was stopped, due to the abs brake it didn't work anymore and I almost had a very serious accident because it failed when I needed it. so I left it still until I watched the video of our FRIEND KIRK and I managed to delete the abs system from mine and I'm walking again and since here in Brazil there are no restrictions on the original accessories I'm happy thanks Kirk.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to see this post. I have two K1200LT’s that are going to be “neutered”.

I’m in the process of deleting the ABS on my R1200CL. This video was very helpful and informative. Thanks.

The best video on this aggravating job there is.

Kirk!!! Good to see you again. I believe it’s been a while. Always enjoy watching you do these and I’m under the impression you could do this blindfolded or sound asleep. Just wanted to say, nice touch with the purple plant on the bench. It screams you!! Keep up the good work.

Very helpful info. I removed unit from K1200gt but speedo wouldnt work so had to connect it back up to get speedo.

Master Mechanics.

I "recently' bought a K1200LT that was dealer seviced and had Just been servied when I bought it. Steel brake lines and Everything....but the ABS was blinking. .... I decided to service it myself and changed the oil, water, etc. When I bled the brakes I found the problem:: The dealer forgot to top off the reservoir after bleeding and it was at minimum. So now everrything is OK.

My Brain is on over load. This guy knows this bike from front to end. Whoa.

I know who I am going to call when my K1200 LT breaks down.

Fortunately here in Spain we have a company that restore all the internal components of the iABS modulator, motors, pressure sensors, transistors, software uptdating. I would not ride such a heavy bike without an ABS system.

Thanks for warning me that I didn’t need to spend $50 sending to the UK for a plastic plate to cover the back of the electronics

Looks like a Rock Auto customer judging by the magnets on the cabinet in the background. You have almost as many as me!

I did the bypass on my 05. On the front disconnected the abs and went from the reservoir to the caliper via the split connector . On the back went straight form pump to caliper. I left the abs lines intact in case prices ever come down . on problem i have is no brake light . Ill watch Kirks deal and see if he address that .. Love his videos

Someone already bypassed mine and it seems to be working fine, now I have to change the clutch on wow it’s hard to find parts for this bike haha

So if you cut the Brown/red, Brown/yellow and Black/white wires on the module that will eliminate your blinking issue.

I tend to make a digital photograph in lieu of a mental note. Seems to be more reliable. 😁

Can you do one on a k1200rs? Thanks for the videos!

Will this work on all years of LTS specifically 2009? Thank you.

It’s obvious that BMW used very high quality parts on these motorcycles.

Hey. I have a question. Have owned a k1200lt for 2 seasons now, but in the winter the hevy snow broke the shelter where my k1200lt was hibernating and that broke the windshield and the mechanism for the raising for it. Can you give me pointers where to look for a new(used) windscreen mechanism. The k bike was mine and my wife's getaway bike. So i'd like to ride it this season again.

This is another great video! Just finished installing the kit on my K1200 (2000 model year - non integrated ABS). I pulled the relay and disconnected the controller unit from the ABS. However, I'm still getting a slow flash on my ABS dash light. Anyone have a suggestion on what this could be? All other lighting is working well - no additional dash lights besides the ABS.

Merci beaucoup, cela va nous être très utile👍✌

Are the early model equipped with the passive ABS, the one that if it fails you can brake the same? If yes till what year of manufacturing? Interested to buy one but prefer with passive ABS, like the one I have on my 2000 RT1100. Thanks for your video and suggestions.

Where do I get that bypass kit

I have two questions 1. By using this kit l will lose link brakes correct. 2. how much more additional force does it take to apply the front brake compared to the standard with the power assist. Thanks

I have do it I remove it but no speedometer and the brake lights are stuck on .eny solutions or eny kit to remove this out ?also I try to connect again the wires on abs but still no speedometer and brake light s on thank you

can the abs be removed from the k1200 rs 1997?thx a lot for your amazing videos

HY. SIR. MY. PROBLEM. IS. THAT ONCE. THE BIKE. ENGINE IS OF I GOT NO BRAKES.. I LEAR THAT THE HARD WAY 2 RIBS AN MY BACK. SORE. PLEACE. HELP. AND. BLESSED BE. SIR

Does this work on All years of 1200 LT? Specifically 2009.

make a same job on my K1200LT 2007 finish ABS problem

Will the kit work on an 03 GT?

Nice video but...brake lights dosent work ....spedometer dosent work ..so ...

I wish this was around 5 years ago when I did my 2000. Maybe someone can 3d print up a cover for the controller?

With so many problems with the ABS system and unhappy customers who remove the ABS system you might ask why BMW are still persisting building ABS on their bicycles ..... At least they could make it an option and leave the choice to the customer. The world is complicated enough without ABS. Let us not make it more costy and more complicated than necessary. And maybe BMW could pay more attention to the messy layout under the tupperware including the quality of the paint.

Hi Kirk can I do this on my 2002 bike is it different from this pump? i am having problems with the abs brake system, thanks for your help for us.

I would like a kit and directions for a 2003 R1150RT

Hi, we removed the abs on my k1200lt 2008 but the warning light keeps flashing. Any connection or relay that needs to be disconnected too pls?

Hello. I am from Poland. How could I become the owner of such a set? I have a 2004 LT. Regards

Still worth picking one of these bikes up knowing that this will eventually be an issue?

My ABS is starting to act up in my 2000LT. I'm considering this if it dies. Any reason not to remove the disconnected ABS brake lines?

does it work for k1200 rs?

Unrelated question since you are knowledgeable: I have a 2014 K16GTL with about 30K miles. I'm getting a rattle from the motor at about 2500/3000rpm off throttle, particularly at startup. I run AMSOIL metric oil. I haven't checked the valves yet. Is this most likely a tappy/happy valve due to excessive clearance or is it more likely to be a cam chain tensioner failing? Thanks for any guesses LOL.

Kirk, does it cover all model years? I have a 99"? thx...

I have an R1200C with ABSII - what do you have for me?

Will this work on a 1998 k1200rs?

😱😱😱😱😱😳😳😳😳😰😰😰 crime story !!!

😔 Promo SM

Have it repaired....ha ha! Like that's an option. Who's this mythical "They" that rebuilds I-ABS servo brake units?
