Would ABS warning light be affected by a low battery?
 

Just test ridden a GSR for the better half, she sold the SV last.

The bike had to be bump started as it had an alarm and had been sitting for a few weeks, no drama, seller said he'd put a new battery on anyway.

However, when I was riding it the ABS warning light would randomly come on, then go off again after 5 seconds (like when you first set off)

Mentioned it to the seller and he said he's asked a dealer and they said the low battery is causing it.

Does that soind right?

ABS worked fine on the bike

My abs light on the tracer is on the first time I start the bike, until I go over ?7?mph. Or do you mean it is coming on whist you are riding, and stop at traffic lights?

The ABS light should come on if the control unit sees a too low voltage as the system will not be able to operate correctly.
If it was an almera or NV200 its normaly a bad ground .

It would come on every time I slowed down then turn off when I accelerated. Sounds like it was seeing a low voltage then and the seller was right.

Will get him to sort the battery and see if that fixes it before buying.
