Hey guys !
Since last year, the check engine light comes up, the TCS & ABS lights as well (those 2 are on and off, sometimes TCS flickers, ABS might be on for a while, etc...), the speedometer displays bullshit speed sometimes, even when I'm stopped.
Quickshifter is sometimes not usable anymore when TCS light on. Also, sometimes, for less then a second, I can speed up anymore, I lose any throttle power so the bike decelerates then it comes back.
It's all a bit random and I don't know what to do anymore. I brought it to the dealer as soon as it happened last year, they just removed the check engine light, and obviously it came back.
When it was time to store it for winter at the dealer, I told them again to check it, they said they did and I insisted they go and try it on the road, which they've apparently done.
I got the motorcycle back last week and went for a day ride yesterday, towards the end, the whole thing came back.
When I turn the power off and then back on, it usually resets the TCS & ABS lights, but sometimes it doesn't.
I have the feeling it's maybe related to a sensor tied to the rear wheel ? At least it seems to be an electronic issue because mechanically, everything seems fine.
Do you guys have any idea ? Pointers ?
Thanks !

Year, mileage, and history would be useful here. 🤦
I would start by checking battery output.

Sounds definitely like the a bad speed sensor. The speed sensor is getting abnormal readings and the ECU is determining them to be invalid, therefore disabling ABS and TCS since both require valid inputs from your wheelspeed to be effective.
Seems pretty straightforward that's it's the wheel sensor to me but I'm not a mechanic. Obviously any type of electrical gremlins can be due to the battery, loose wiring, and a wiring harness shorting out.
If the battery is approaching or older than 2 years old, replace it. And if problem persists, replace the wheels sensors.
