ABS LIGHT STAYS ON after rear tire change.

my ;) rules (for bikes)
to avoid such rubbish job as the OP experienced:

no one should let a only-tire-on-rim-mechanic at a standard tire dealer put out/in a wheel at his bike

everybody should have the manual ´08-´17 with ALL mechanical info (any torques) for all gen2-models

everybody should have the tools (3/8"&1/2" ratchet box, torque wrenches as 50-150 nm, 4-20 nm and so on) to put out and in a wheel correctly with prescribed torques

everybody should have the tools to stand the bike save and upright at home

no one should be too lazy to do the "put-the-wheel-out/-in job" himself

and the heck - at definitely ALL ! bikes, equipped with abs, the very! first! thing to do is to dismount the respective abs-sensor and hang it aside before starting to loose any other screw/nut for pulling the wheel (front/ rear never matters - action is allways the same) and then re-mounting that sensor at the very last.

___________________________________________
in general:

every bike mechanic should know this - if not knowing / if not paying attention to the sensor this mechanic
is a damn bitch - kick his a$$ and flee that shop instantly
or
if it was a suzuki shop make the biggest trouble you are able to - directly with the boss / owner but never with a subaltern! he just shrugs his shoulders and continues just as sloppily as before.
 
Update * my bike is 100% again. just that crack on sensor. part on picture. I would go back if it was comepetely broken but everything working fine again. I am just not going there again.
Glad that’s all it was. It would bothered me to ride around knowing that my $100 dollars abs sensor is cracked, specially if I had a newer bike. Not due to safety reasons, but it would bug me.
 
I take my rims off at home and go to the shop for them to change the tires out, this way I know everything is put back together right....

The shop I go to used to be a Suzuki dealership which sold Hayabusas at one time....as soon as the mechanics learn the tires are for a Hayabusa, they get all strange and giddy like they are handling the Holy Grail....I find that kind of funny.

Every time I take the bike there to get something or other, they generally all come out at various times and nonchalantly eye-ball the bike.

Makes me feel good to know they still love the Hayabusa bikes...

(...) Not due to safety reasons, (...)
man?

when ever the abs light stays on, when riding faster than 6mph,
the abs-pump never will "rattle" your hand lever / footpad - the abs-function is "off" - read the abs-part of the 2013 manual exactly.

only the standard brake function then is guaranteed,
even if the abs is in an "off" modus.
