Rear Brake/ABS Pump issue

[basmntdweller]

Well, I have failed! A used ZX14 unit is ordered from eBay. I will swap the electronics from my unit to the eBay pump and the rest should be a basic reinstall and bleed. The solenoid valve laying out in the picture is hopelessly stuck. There is no way to disassemble it further and still be useable. Too bad mama Kaw doesn't sell the individual valves! It looks to me like they are assembled and the laser welded into a solid assembly.
New pump should be here on Friday. I guess if I want to ride this week, it will have to be on the wife's cruiser.

Brakes are back to normal! I ended up just swapping one of the valves from the eBay unit into my old unit. Everything went back together but I ended up with a leftover screw from somewhere!
I have to admit there are several things I hate about working on brakes. Invariably I get fluid on my hands and after the job is done, I always feel like the pedal/lever is spongier than before. I did test ride and it stops as good as it ever did. Anti locks seemed to function properly as well. I had to ride through my yard to get the front to activate.

Thanks, Matt

Congratulations!

I think that has happened to all of us.  It certainly has to me...
