Or perhaps not! Looking at my manual I found this on page 30 - 'General warning lamp lights up red = There is a defective brake system. The brake switch is defective, the BMW ABS detects the braking request from the pressure buildup through the brake lever. There may be an unusual response from the brakes. You can continue to ride but the brakes may respond in a Manner to which you are not accustomed.'
of course if the light was still on I'd find a dealer ASAP. But the light has gone out so I assume it came on after I was heavy on the brakes but is now Ok.
I'll continue to monitor it for now it looks like it's alright. thanks for the help, as always.
If you're interested. I'll be putting a trip report on The Dom way round. Soon
cheers. Dom
