Today I was running some forest service roads that are typical light sand over a packed limestone or hard sand base. After a stop for a short break I took off with lots of throttle and the rear tire lost traction and spun up for a second or two in first gear before it hooked up again and shifted to second. The ABS light began steady flashing. After a few hundred yards and shifting up to maybe 4th gear the light remained flashing so I stopped and shut off the bike and restarted. The light went out. The manual says that the ABS light can start flashing if the rear wheel is turning when the bike is stopped but the front wheel was turning when the slide began that triggered the light. I guess the ABS noted a large difference in wheel speeds and faulted. Not a problem just something to mention - a restart reset the ABS fault.
